How come the Superbowl is usually picked to be in Miami or Detroit? Why not have it at every stadium on a schedule - skipping the crap ones (Jets/Giants :P)

New Orleans and SD have hosted their fair share as well. Why don't they rotate? Can you imagine a SB played outside in Buffalo in early Feb.?

I suppose that makes sense - but what about Cowboys / Houston, Jacksonville, Tennesse, Washington, Indy... etc etc ... all of the fairweather stadiums? Why not N.E. :P

I don't think you want a SB held in New England - Why?

Not just because of Cold weather but do you know the super bowl appearance record of a team which has had its stadium as home base for the Super Bowl that year ?- Try 0 for 41 including Miami this year - If your team is the Super Bowl city you don't come close to making it.

Whew! I thought this was a thread about illegal immigrants!

I would imagine when Dallas gets their new stadium built they'll be in the rotation. Houston and Jax have already hosted this decade as I'm sure you are aware. Tennessee would be a great site IMO.

There are a couple of rules regarding prospective hosts--one requires that the (probable) game time temperature be above a certain amount, AND that the stadium have a certain capacity. You can guess which test Gillette fails (and why Detroit is OK).

Like the Olympics, the SB sites are chosen well in advance, about 3-5 yrs ahead of time. The host cities need to plan and get hotel reservations in. Usually warm weather sites are chosen, the only cold weather sites have been indoors.

If a SB was ever at a cold weather site, don't ever expect it to be Foxborough. I'm surprised it was once held at the Pontiac Silverdome. The SB site has to have easy access to the stadium and to recreational attractions. The Silverdome is almost as far from central Detroit as Foxborough is to central Boston. That said, Foxborough is still a hard place to get in and out of, people would have to travel 30 miles for any fun, and T.F. Green Airport in Providence would have a hard time handling all the incoming passenger flow. I do not ever see a SB in Foxborough if an outdoor cold weather city were ever chosen.

Which cold weather cities could host it? My first guess would be Chicago, then maybe Baltimore/Washington, Denver or even Seattle. I'd say NY except the stadium is old (compared to the other choices, remember that Soldier Field was renovated) and not real accomodating to the wealthy clientele the SB would draw. I don't see the new stadia in Philly, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Charlotte NC or St. Louis as enough to overcome what little each city has to offer as a SB host city. Nashville, Green Bay, Buffalo and KC really don't have any shot at all, like Foxborough. Did I forget any cold weather place which hasn't ever hosted a game?

I think KC, Nashville, Charlotte, and possibly Cincinnati are potential contenders. None of them are cold weather cities and they all have new stadiums except for KC. If the NFL wants a nostalgic feeling surrounding, lets say, SB L (Superbowl 50), then KC would be a good choice. If Jacksonville can host a SB then so can Nashville and Charlotte IMO.

I could see St. Louis getting into the mix. It's a big convention city with a solid facility.
