That is an argument I fail to understand. I see no circumstance, short of an economic collapse, in which the Super Bowl would fail to sell out, no matter where it was staged. If the corporations failed to buy up the seats, fans would surely jump at the opportunity to snap them up.

I agree.. but there is so much more revenue generated beyond seat sales.. attend a Super Bowl week and you will see what I mean.. corporate tents and events galore everywhere to drop coin.
So beyond the hotel concerns there is convention/ event space limitations in Green Bay that probably far outweigh rooms or what not.
Brown County arena won't cut it.. Pepsi or Coke or one major sponsor would outsize it alone.
Then you have the lack of practice facilities for the teams to consider.. the surrounding area of Green Bay doesn't have the facilities to handle that type of concerns.. they don't have a college or minor league stadium to handle an alternative practice site beyond the Hudson center..
In other words.. logistical shortcomings to handle the magnitude of events surrounding the game.
Parking concerns are yet another concern.. sure it can handle a Packer game.. but honestly during a Superbowl week, I would wager that there are 2 or 3 times the people attending than go through the gate in the game alone.
