NFL mulling Super Bowl XLVIII backup plans -- report - ESPN New York

what a tremendous idea it was to plan playing a Super Bowl in the stormiest month of the year at an outdoor venue in the northeast...it's just pure genius, ain't it?

IMHO the superbowl should be on saturday anyways.

I've been saying this for years, the Super Bowl should be on a Saturday night. It's the biggest sports event of the year and after partying we need to be able to sleep in and recover.
Plus, when the Pats win next year, I got a feeling we will all party hard and won't be functional the next day.

With climate change it will be a 45 degree night for the game. Godell has been planning this for years.

Saturday night really hurts the businesses in the SB city. I don't think they will move the game unless the forecast calls for warm rains on Sunday.

Saturday makes a lot of sense for the fans...a day to recover before the work week...but this is not the issue here....if you read what the NFL has formulated, it centers all around a "what if" scenario that you just don't have to plan for if the game is held in a warm climate or dome site...people pay up front for hotels and other ancillaries and risk the possibility that tbhe game could be moved forward or back in time, possibly DAYS backward?

It's a nutbag idea coming from a nitwit NFL executive office. 18 game schedules...games in South Africa and Malaysia and Sarajevo , Super Bowls in Minnesota and Detroit again, hour long halftime shows devoting a half hour to an NFL Dancing With The Stars segment followed by voiced over electronica from the latest American Idol winner....WTF...where does the madness end with this weirdo commissioner?

Cities bidding on the SB see the open Saturday as a massive revenue opportunity. A Saturday SB clears out the city's guests a day early.... Lost hotel, restaurant, etc, revenues. Not going to happen

that's a pretty ignorant statement considering I'm sitting here , 180 miles away from the Meadowlands in a near barren moonscape buried under two feet of snow 10 days AFTER the last Super Bowl.

I've tempered my enthusiasm for the next SB because it's been pre-ordained to be the Manning Bowl in NYC. The All NY Bowl plan fell through despite years of behind the scenes efforts by the commissioner due to the gobsmackingly incompetent ineptitude by the Jets org utterly destroying the team's competitive capabilities. No finite amount of faux "pass interference" and "offensive holding" penalties combined with inadvertent quick whistles can vault those Jets bozos thru the AFCCG.

Maybe I need to stop reading Joker's posts.

Pats vs Packers in a windy blizzard for the superbowl? I'd take it and I think America would too.
