2014 Super Bowl, would you?

• Mr Miyagi

  

  Many of you have made predictions for this years Super Bowl.
  
  Next year it is being played in New York. With all the cold and snow that we are having now, would you change your score or predictions if this year's Super Bowl was in NY ? Or do you think the outcome would be the same?
• Iliketurtles

  

  Right now my score prediction is 31-20. If it was in NY today I would change that to 17-13 and I would have a different team winning the game.

  Bigger question is would you spend $1500 on a ticket and pay "out the ass" prices for lodging, food and transportation to sit in a giant ice box for 5 hrs?
  
  This is the biggest F'n mistake the NFL has pulled off in awhile and that's sayin' sumpthin looking at Goodels recent fk-ups.

  Well people will pay it, so I'm not sure how it is a fuck up.

  The shittier the weather the more I'd pick Baltimore to win.
  
  I'm guessing the Ravens winning right now....but considerable, put it in NY this evening and much less thought to pick Ravens.
  
  
  I would never buy SB tickets regardless.

  Not that the SB hasn't already evolved into an event only for the super-rich but every year some regular middle class fans try to follow their team all the way and part of that reward is to get to spend a few days in warm weather somewhere.
  
  It be great if Cleveland went next year and their fans freeze their asses off...

  And we wouldn't care. At all.
• Tiernan

  ...but you would still lose anyway. So freeze and lose.

  not too many unemployed NE Ohio people going to the SB no matter who's in it!
• Ironman92

  

  Yeah....they're aren't any well-to-do people in NE Ohio.
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Game is actually being played in New Jersey ... and yes, I think this colder weather certainly favors the defenses.
  
  27-17 SF in New Orleans
  20-13 SF in Jersey

  Thought it was a bad idea the second it was announced.
  I am all for football in the elements. Hell...I usually bypass early season NFL games and wait till later when the weather gets shitty.
  
  I just feel that the championship..whether it be the Super Bowl, or college championship, should be either indoors or in a warm city with good weather becuase I think that is where we see the best football, and a better inclination at whom the better team is. Make the weather conditions benign and play the biggest game in the world

  Terrible decision to play the SB outdoors in New York.
• Classyposter58

  

  If New York had a dome this would have been awesome, just a great city for the Super Bowl and being on the coast helps with usually milder winters. Heck Detroit actually got incredible reviews for how well they hosted the Super Bowl, and so did Indy I believe. Midwest places are the best since all we really have is sports and we make such a big deal about it being in our cities

  WOnder if the NFL is shitting a brick right about now. Projected foot of snow just one week after the super bowl with the noreaster that bearing down on them!
  
  While it may be fun to watch, to a point, it would wreak havoc on everything else at the super bowl!

  Both times the SB was in Detroit a blizzard struck, and Dallas got crushed by an icestorm a few years ago

  I've been in just as bad, if not worse, weather for two games at Lambeau Field. If the Packers were in next year's Super Bowl...the only thing that would stop me from going is the money. No weather would stop me. It's not THAT bad to stand in "cold" weather for 3-4 hours.

  1966 Packers 21 Dallas 17. Coldest championship game ever. Title game preceded the first Super Bowl.
  
  It was so cold that a couple of Dallas players had to have their toes amputated from frostbite after the game.
  
  It was a great game with Starr sneaking in over Bob Lilly and Jethroe Pugh on 4th and goal at the 1 with 7 seconds left.

  I stood in the same endzone that Starr scored in...on the 40th anniversary of the Ice Bowl!
