Which city will be awarded Super Bowl L? I am leaning toward corporate geed of Dallas.


Santa Clara, Calif.

Pros: The 49ers' new stadium will open in 2014 or 2015, the first new football stadium in California since the 1960s. A Super Bowl has traditionally gone to new stadiums, especially in warm weather spots. This pick would also return the game to the Golden State for the first time since the 2003 game in San Diego.

Cons: Not many. The NFL may want to award the game to one of its more-traditional host cities, and a Super Bowl here would also be quite spread out, stretching from Santa Clara to San Francisco.

Odds: Good

New Orleans

Pros: Will be tied with Miami at 10 after next year for having hosted the most Super Bowls. The NFL may want to recognize one of its best Super Bowl cities with the historic game.

Cons: The game will have just been in New Orleans three years earlier (2013). The league prefers more spacing.

Odds: Good

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

Pros: Huge Cowboys Stadium offers great financial reward to the NFL, it's a major market, and hey, the weather can't be as bad as it when hosting last year- can it?

Cons: The NFL is still feeling the effects of the 2011 fiasco, with a federal lawsuit pending against the team and league for seating problems. The region also would have to prove it can be better prepared for weather emergencies.

Odds: Average (It would be worse, but it may be hard for owners to ignore 100,000 seats priced around $1,000.)

Tampa

Pros: Warm weather, has hosted the fourth-most Super Bowls at four and has lost several recent bids, so it could be seen as next in line.

Cons: Downtown Tampa, hardly glamorous, may not be seen as the iconic destination for the 50th game.

Odds: Average

Miami


Pros: One of the favorite Super Bowl destinations for visitors.

Cons: The NFL has all but ruled out more Super Bowls here until the stadium is renovated.

Odds: Slight

Indianapolis

Pros: All hail, Indy, the upstart Super Bowl host that blew the socks off everyone earlier this month. The city rewrote the script for staging this event and set the bar higher.

Cons: While Indy certainly appears ready to now bid for another game, it may be too quick a turnaround to get ready for a bid in the coming months. Also, the city will have to address the issue of hotel price gouging, a concern certain to be even more pronounced for the 50th game.

Odds: Slight

Los Angeles

Pros: Host of the first Super Bowl and six thereafter, the most recent in 1993. The NFL's been trying to get back to the City of Angels since the Rams and Raiders left town after the 1994 season.

Cons: Unless there is a new stadium and team here, this seems unlikely. While those developments could occur by 2016, the league is likely to award the game in the coming months.

Odds: Slight

London

Pros: What better way to take the NFL international than to stage the 50th Super Bowl at Wembley Stadium. Can you imagine the commissioner's Super Bowl party at the Tower of London?!

Cons: Hard to imagine owners giving up the opportunity to host this game. If the NFL won't put Super Bowls in cities with unresolved stadium issues, how does it put the historic 50th game in one without an NFL team (see L.A.)?

Odds: Extremely remote

I don't think New Orleans has a chance, since they are hosting the 2012 Super Bowl. I am hoping it's an open top stadium, but it'll probably be Detroit or something. Most likely wherever Super Bowl I was played, will be where Super Bowl L will be played, right?

That was LA Coliseum. Given how pissy the NFL is in not going to LA since the Rams moved out it would be a real shock.

I don't think any significance should be given to the game for the fact that it is the 50th one. Fifty is a nice, round number, but who gives a shit? It's just another marketing gimmick.

London??????????????

Not a cats chance in hell the Superbowl will ever be played outside of the USA. Reasons why? Need I list them all but here are a few

1: Time zone London is 5 hours ahead of East coast USA times, 9 hours ahead of west coast. Traditional kick off for the superbowl is 11:30PM here in the UK. 6:30 EST 3:30 Pacific.

2: Wembley has an event finish curfew of 10:30pm due to local council and resident restrictions.

3: To accomodate the curfew kick off to allow for overtime,half time show and after match celebrations interviews etc would have to be 5PM UK time; 12 noon EST 9AM pacific time.

4: who on the west coast would get up at 5AM in the morning for suoperbowl pre-game programmes? NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NONE STARTER WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

add to Flep's reasons the fact that the powers that be will not allow all the revenue that the SB generates to leave the good ol US of A.
Heck they won't even let LA get the golden coins because they are without a franchise why would they give it to another country?
