Would an exclusive Superbowl Stadium work??

I'm not sure a stadium could pay off its construction and operating costs by hosting only one NFL game a year.

I imagined that it could hold events through the year like Pro Wrestling, MMA, concerts and stuff...maybe have the odd regular season game there, but i figured the superbowl would be money...

Monkeydad · 02-08-2011, 10:56 AM

Kansas needs it....right in the center of everybody.

Yea i think it is totally impossible............

All I know is there sure were a buch of suckers this year who paid $200-$300 to go to the game and sit OUTSIDE in the cold and watch it on a big screen TV under heat lamps. That is dumb to me. I know I could host a pretty nice party at my house for $200 and have my friends come watch the game at my own house INSIDE. How did Jerry Jones sucker those guys into that? They were in the parking lot!

It wouldn't work. But it would be nice to have it on a rotation, kind of like golf does with some of the majors. Putting a SB in cities like Jacksonville, Minneapolis or Indy doesn't make any sense. San Diego, Miami, LA and New Orleans should be where they should put it. Even Las Vegas if they had a big enough stadium.

It should be held in Detroit.....every year

Great idea...one of the most violent cities in the nation with some of the worst winter weather.

I see no problems there.

don't forget the huge traffic bottleneck and lack of parking around the stadium!

So what would be the benefits of having it at the same site every year?

Alvin Walton · 02-08-2011, 02:43 PM

Well, it would certainly be more efficient for the NFL to not have to use the resources dealing with all the bids, the criteria for hosting and dealing with various entities on why or why not certain cities are eligible. They would also not have to listen to all the butthurt stadium owners and mayors of towns that can't have a super bowl.

I'd say that is not enough beef to warrant a "this city only" stadium but it sure would cut down on the drama.

If anything they should work on making sure all the teams endeavor to build domed stadiums. Then everyone is eligible and they could just go down the list and let everyone have a Super Bowl.
