Super Bowl in a neutral stadium 

Post#1 » by Celtsfan1980 » Sat Nov 28, 2015 3:53 pm

An article recently on WT about Patrick Willis returning next year(after San Fransisco hosts the Super Bowl). Rather than a team with potential hosting the Super Bowl and collapsing(Giants, 49ers, Saints, Colts, Cowboys) wouldn't it make more sense to play it in a neutral college stadium with large capacity? Or let the consistently bad teams host it more frequently?

I prefer the traditional outdoor warm weather places like the Rose Bowl and Miami unless its in a dome stadium.

You play it in a big city because of the week leading up to the game, all the hype and hooplah and parties and all that. Wouldn't work in a college stadium since most of them are in small towns in the middle of nowhere.

It should keep rotating between the traditional warm weather cities or at least big cities that have a dome(although nobody wants to be in Detroit in the winter).

I can't see all the fans and media invading a NCAA campus.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Honestly it should just be in either Phoenix, Houston or Jerry World every year.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

That would be a nice change of pace once in a while. Doesn't get much better than the Rose Bowl for an outdoor stadium come February. Very nice place there. New Orleans best Dome and over all fun city for a Super Bowl. Hard to beat New Orleans.

That stadium is way too old and too small. If they built a new stadium, then it would be worth considering.

I see. I figured that Aloha Stadium has been hosting the Pro Bowl long enough & they should get a shot at it.
