Here is my take on how to decide where to play the Super Bowl. I think you take the winner of the Pro Bowl and the following year the Super Bowl is played in that teams home field. As an example Sunday the NFC won so next year the Super Bowl would be played in green Bay :)

This would give the players an incentive to show up and play in the game and it would also make them want to win and not play touch football.

Just something I was thinking about after hearing about the weather in Texas. They have bad weather there so what the hell is the difference besides playing the game outdoors.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I've thought of that, but it would be a complete logistical nightmare. The Packers organization wouldn't know until two weeks beforehand whether they should expect a game at Lambeau. The city of Green Bay and local businesses wouldn't know until two weeks beforehand whether the entire county would be turned into a circus. Things like this take preparation.

It also wouldn't make good players on shitty teams care any more about the pro bowl, and some teams really don't have that much of a homefield advantage.

And Bud got blasted because he put a stake in the all star game.. if you want to play the game and have it invested in by the group.. then you tie something to it.

I don't know that all stadiums (Lambeau included) could effectively handle the Superbowl and the rush that comes with it. Especially not with only a year to prep for it.

It would take a couple years planning to pull off the event effectively.

What dhazer is saying is that the Pro bowl would only determine which conference would host the super bowl the next year. Since you don't know what team will be in that Superbowl until after the conference championships, that leaves only 2 weeks to prepare.

This is an example of why the common man needs to be represented in Washington. 🙂 Sorry Haze, you know I love ya, but that isnt' a very good idea. If I ever make it to a SB, I don't want to freeze my nuts off for a week in GB or New York City. I might as well just stay home and freeze my nuts off. The Super Bowl should be played in warm weather cities and with advanced notice, like it is now. The system ain't broke so don't fix it. The Pro Bowl should just be ablished and the money spent on it could be donated to charity.

This system works in Baseball because of the 7 game series played in both participant's ball parks.

The city of Green Bay could not stand up to the entire week of the Super Bowl. They just couldn't. Also, I sincerely doubt the Packers would rather play in GB in the dead of winter than on turf, indoors. Homefield advantage is big because of the fans more than the field and stadium, and in a Super Bowl, even if they play at home, it will be an even mix of fans as well as wealthy individuals who care nothing about football, but are showing their business partners how much money they have. There is a much bigger homefield advantage during regular season games.

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
