New Jersey Gets Super Bowl 14

Now we're talking! This is football! (Photo Source: Yardbarker.com)

You may say this is not Chiefs related but I say nay, friend. This IS Chiefs related because I expect out beloved Chiefs to be active participants in Super Bowl 14 and until the teams are set, this news very well could impact KC. By 2014, the Chiefs will hopefully be preparing to cement their dynasty status. =)

To do that, they will have to play in the first cold weather Super Bowl ever! Unless global warming gives us a freak temperature day, in February 2014, the NFC Champions will face off against the AFC Champions in the frigid New Jersey winter.

There are folks on both sides of the isle on this one. I love the idea of a cold weather Super Bowl. Regular season and playoff games get decided in the elements. Why should the Super Bowl be any different? If the road teams travel to get to the Super Bowl goes through poor weather conditions, then the big game should get the same treatment.

I believe football should always be played outside. If it were up to me, the NFL would abolish domes. Save that crap for the Arena League.

Time to sound off, Addicts! Do you like the idea of a cold weather Super Bowl or should the game be played in warm weather or if possible, in doors?

Bonus: Does anyone else think it is ridiculous that they keep saying “New York” got the Super Bowl? It is just ridiculous that they call the teams the “New York Giants/Jets” when they play in Jersey.

SB prediction Greenbay and Indy this year. I know this has nothing to do with anything, but i just wanted to put it out there.

And it would bring out more real football fans instead of wealthy people who go just to say they went.

Ya but if the chiefs were to go, they would have a better chance of winning against most teams, because of their running backs.

So the world has gone insane .. think about a blizzard and the game is postponed. Next, they reschedule for the following Sunday with the temp. -17 degrees and wind gusting to 60 mph so wind chil is – 40 degrees. Sure I’m going to be happy to shell out 500 bucks for that … and think about the quality of play. 3 yards and a cloud of snow. Other than paying back the Giants n Jets for building a new stadium it makes no sense. Maybe I’m just negative and it’ll be sunny with 30 degrees weather … the NFL is certainly betting on it

And could you imagine the Timberlake Jackson halftime show in cold weather, Timberlake would probably be missing an eye.

I like the dungy quote, his stadium looked liked the top of his head. His team played better in domes, a little bias maybe? I think it evens up the playing field a little, cold weather teams have to play dome teams all the time in domes during the big game. As for New York getting superbowl, I think it's bull****, Lambeau and Arrowhead should be considered way before New York is!

Unfortunately, the Super Bowl has very little to do with football fans and EVERYTHING to do with how much money can be made on the 'big event'. That will always be a primary factor on where the game is played.

Yep. Only a handful of fans actually are at the game. The rest of us watch it on TV anyway. I love cold weather games. I think it will make the SB feel more like football and less like an exhibition game.

I think the NFL needs to make a habit of this. Begin to rotate a cold weather city in once every three or four years. I'd like it to be more often, but you know that people would be crying like babies if they had to play (GASP!) two Super Bowls in cold weather in a row. We need to get some of these historic stadiums to host Super Bowls, i.e. Arrowhead, Lambeau, Foxboro. It'd be great to see all the fans freezing their butts off in Arrowhead watching a 10-7 Super Bowl. That's football baby!! If we have to watch it in the cold in December/January, why not February too? MOCAN2

I agree. You know, before there was a Super Bowl, all the championship games were played in the elements. Since the merger and advent of the Super Bowl, less and less emphasis seems to be put on the actual individual league championships. Obviously, you want to go over there and win the big game and defeat the AFC/NFC opponent but I think the NFL could do with a little more conference pride. I know I nearly always root for the AFC team in the Super Bowl.

I like the idea of an outdoor, possibly cold weather, Super Bowl and why not New York? Which by the way designates the City not the State; It is where the Giants and Jets originated--so when it was time to move to greener pastures and 10 million voters say "keep the NY name or else"--then that's the way it shakes out. Also, New York City has a tendency to dwarf, in mass, anything else that comes near it--sort of like a black hole in the sports universe. But perhaps I digress. All in all, I say a change in Super Bowl venue to a Northern outdoor stadium is good for the sport. I believe Arrowhead should be on the short list as well!

You are right about NY. It is unfortunate for Jersey I guess. You can bet your ass when the Nets move to Brooklyn, they won't be the NJ Nets.

Tony Dungy on this issue: "You get to a Super Bowl and you want to put your best foot forward," Dungy said today on The Dan Patrick Show. "If you win the game or you lose the game you don't want it to be because of weather conditions." I disagree. What about the team that doesn't make the Super Bowl because their kicker had to kick into a 40 MPH cross wind or their RB slipped when he could have scored the game winning TD on 4th down? I think everything should be consistent. If you play in bad weather for the AFC or NFC Championship game to decide who GOES to the Super Bowl, then play the Super Bowl the same way.
