re: 2018 Super Bowl...who gets it?

1. The light issue was bigger than you think.

2. New Orleans isn't unique in being able to host a great Super Bowl. Seattle, San Francisco, Denver are all awesome cities that haven't hosted in a while. And since everything went fine with NY/NJ the NFL could easily start looking at colder venues. Minnesota is probably getting 2018.

The light issue won't ever happen again. You think that the GNOSF is going to let something like that shroud getting the SB here in the future. It happened, steps were taken, it won't happen again.

2. New Orleans IS unique in that all the hotels, media areas, and the venue are in the same spot. There is no other city than can boast that. NONE

SF - stadium is in Santa Clara, far from SF
Seattle - hasn't hosted and would be worthy
Minnesota - while you paint a rosy picture, going outside in Minneapolis in winter is vastly different than going outside in winter in NY/NJ. They were below freezing for about 80 straight days this winter. That sounds miserable as hell.

San Francisco had the power go out last year too.

shite happens.


I would imagine the Superdome is less likely to have it happen againthan any other site due to it happening when it did.
