The NFL should schedule a Super Bowl in Cleveland

[Auggie]

What a great shot-in-the-arm to my beleaguered and former hometown to host a Super Bowl.

Detroit/Pontiac has hosted it. They're a rust-belt city.

And now that New Jersey is getting one there's a precedent for risking really crappy weather. That's abundant in Cleveland. Especially in February.

New stadium, relatively speaking. Luxury boxes. Large capacity.

Yep. The NFL should look toward Cleveland.

:headbang:

But they don't have the balls.

1. That's a great idea, because that way...

...you know one team won't have a home field advantage!


Sorry, couldn't resist. :hi:

2. LOL

:rofl:

Excellent

11. Wow, Kick A Town When They're Down

And you call Yankees fans Satanists?!

3. I think they should schedule the Super Bowl for Fayetteville, Arkansas

You can't get more football than that, can you?

[Auggie]

4. Actually, you can...

Canton, Ohio

:D

5. And when do they play the Hall of Fame Game??? 'nuff said.

6. August. In the SuperDome.

I'm full of ideas

:)

15. ....

Actually, haven't they ended the HoF game from Canton, OH??

[Auggie]

16. They still play it in Fawcett Stadium

7. Nor do they have the hotel space.

You know, unless the personnel, families, etc. will all be bunking in Tremont, Streetsboro and Westlake . . . and then just commute into Cleveland when the event happens. :rofl:

8. That's a great idea

Who had the thought decades ago to rent cruise ships and anchor them in Lake Erie to provide rooms for a similar event (might have been a political convention)?

Wait -- that wouldn't work -- the lake freezes in winter.

crap :banghead:

9. ALL the NFL venues should be eligible to host a Super Bowl

and I hope the Giants Stadium game is the first step in that direction.

The NFL doesn't give a damn about the fans getting too wet or too cold at games during the regular season. Why make an exception for the Super Bowl--just so they can make a few extra bucks?

10. Cleveland is a lot colder than NY and....

You have the lakes, so it could be a mess.

12. Art Modell just had a heart attack reading your post. nt

13. Oh yeah...?

14. Why no SB at Qwest Field in Seattle?

Here’s a look at the past five Super Bowl dates and the weather in Seattle on those days:


Feb. 4, 2010

Seattle: 57 degrees, light rain.



Feb. 1, 2009

Seattle: 44 degrees, no rain.



Feb. 3, 2008

Seattle: 39 degrees, no rain.



Feb. 4, 2007

Seattle: 51 degrees, light rain.



Feb. 5, 2006

Seattle: 47 degrees, no rain.


Not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than NYC.

17. The Superbowl should be on a direct rotation of all the teams. That way all the cities

get to benefit from the revenues and, in the case of Cleveland, it will be the only time they ever get to "go" to a Superbowl. (ex-Browns fan here)
