Current 10 day forecasts show 31F and Ice/Snow mix on Saturday before the game.

Rumors are floating around that it may be forced to Monday due to the weather.

I hope this happens so it makes GODell look like a total fool for choosing an open-air northern venue.

There is so much anger from this board regarding the SB location this year. Do you really care that much?

You're getting a major snowstorm from that forecast?

I'm no Goodell fan by any means...but the owners vote on the venue.

How can you hold this info credible when most forecasts can't even get the weather for tomorrow correct?

Rumors by idiots. Football is played in winter weather in the north on a fairly regular basis. They know how to deal with it.

You look like a bigger fool thinking that a weather prediction 10 days out is going to be accurate.

I can't believe how poonhurt people are that the NFL is holding its championship game where it has had its championship game nine times.

There's nothing wrong with playing a football game in the cold. The Super Bowl is a football game.

Like others have said, this will not happen.

But I would poop my pants laughing if it did.

They said the storm we got Tuesday wouldn't have stopped the Super Bowl. And that was about a foot of snow and around 10 degree temperature at night.

They aren't shutting it down with a 31 temp and a wintery mix.

I hope it's snowy and cold as shite.

The Super Bowl is meant to be played in a dome or warm weather locations.

Everyone needs to get over it. 10 days is so far away.

Also, it should be played wherever in America, not just warm climates.

I'm pissed about this and I'm a Broncos fan. If Denver, or Saints for that matter (teams I care about) I would likely root for chaos.

However, the entire NYC Super Bowl has always been absurd from the beginning.

Playoff games should be in the elements; home teams should be given that advantage.

Super Bowls should not be impacted by weather, or at a minimum, you should mitigate the chances as much as possible. They should be in domes or outdoor stadiums in San Diego, LA (future) and Florida. That's it. If it rains in San Diego, whatever. shite happens. Placing it in NYC or Chicago, or Denver is plain stupid for both the game and the experience.


Now national shows like GMA are talking about the possibility of moving the Super Bowl to a Monday or a Friday? Just absurd.
