We have a thread that touches on this, blow me, I'm making a new one.

What does this mean?

I think ...

[ul]it'll eliminate old ass bands from playing at half time. Old people don't like the cold much.

it opens up the chance for other cities that have open stadiums to hold the Super Bowl (no, Green Bay will never host a SB, too small of a town)

it decreases the chance of those cities who are already in the allotment for hosting the Super Bowl because now there's more stadiums available to be considered.[/ul]

Look at how many more locations of NFL teams we could host the Super Bowl if we had more 'unpleasant' weather locations available.

I'll give you another option.

I don't know how big of an impact this really makes, though. I'm going to guess that not a single cold weather city will get another SB before XLVIII is actually played.

Maybe the league will take another gamble if the Vikings actually get a new stadium, asuming it's roofless.

Ps. I don't mind the old men concerts at half time. Wouldn't mind some newer music, either, but if we're going to hear someone like Lady Gaga at halftime, I'm going to die a little inside.

You are right Rock, in fact I just reread the article I linked in the other thread and saw this nugget: "It could be the last cold play for a long time, as the league made this a onetime exemption to its 50-degree rule."

I forgot about the 50 degree rule. The Twin Cities can't match markets with NY. Well, maybe theater markets, but that's it. NYC has everything else. And that market is pretty much the sole reason they won the bidding. The only way TC gets a Super Bowl is if they have a superplex like Lucas Oil Stadium or the JerryDome.

"Old people don't like the cold"........I bet Brett Favre is upset about this! LOLOL!!!
On a serious note.....i STILL think it's not fair that WE can't host a Super Bowl. Just because we arn't the "big city". Heck, Green Bay is CENTERED around football.
Oh well,.....such is life.

With having a capacity of around 70k in our stadium, I think that might be a drawback as well as there's not many attractions in Green Bay during February.

I agree, it's a shame, because there's not many towns that can and would appreciate the historical significance of the Super Bowl than football fans in Green Bay.

If we had just one Super Bowl here, my lord, it would do WONDERS for the city and the franchise. It would be our opportunity to shine and display what a great town we have.

Another potential issue ... hotels ... we'd be spreading rooms down to Appleton for sure.

I heard that Mark Murphy was kicking around the idea of trying to get a SB played here. Wouldn't that be GREAT?

Green Bay and the state of Wisconsin would love hosting the Super Bowl. It would be a great boost to the state. It would put us on the map in peoples eyes who don't know where or what we are. Wisconsin has a lot to offer and it would be a great opportunity to show case it to the world. I'd be game for a 2018 Super Bowl in Green Bay which would give the city and state plenty of time to prepare and make it great. Green Bay is a very professional city. I don't know how to word that properly to accurately state what I mean. Basically, Green Bay does things with thought, not reactionary.

I know it's a pipe dream, won't ever happen, but thinking about how it 'could' work ... is lots of fun. There's just so much Wisconsin could offer.


Also, I think it MIGHT help with Free Agent's wanting to land in Green Bay. It seems lots of players don't really know where Green Bay is ... they'd know after the Super Bowl for sure and would see how great of a city it is.

Green Bay and Chicago should both have Super Bowls. For crying out loud they're charter members.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Green Bay has a lot to offer, but not for the kind of people who attend the Super Bowl, and especially not in the middle of the winter. I think it would be kind of like when they've held the Super Bowl in Detroit and Jacksonville. Most people would much rather go to Miami, New Orleans, or some other tourist-oriented warm weather city.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?
beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline
beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
