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

I also read somewhere that tv ratings can increase in bad weather because people like watching clusterfricks. I wonder if anyone has actually looked at the total number of tourists who traveled to party but not actually go to the game
I want a clean fair game. Watching the slop around is worthless and nothing more than an excuse and talking point. I want both teams at their best.
I can tell you from experience. There were THOUSANDS of people in new orleans that weren't going and just partying. I can't even begin to estimate.
Here some good stats:
Looking at game day attendance, participation in the NFL Experience theme park at the convention center and crowd sizes at the Super Bowl Boulevard festival in Woldenberg Park, the study estimated attendance in Super Bowl festivities at 133,145, which falls within the 120,000 to 150,000 range organizers projected before Super Bowl week.
The game itself drew a crowd of 72,000, the report said, while 31,217 went to the NFL Experience and 29,928 attended the festival overlooking the Mississippi River.
To gather information on visitors, a team from UNO collected surveys in several central locations for Super Bowl events over five days, from Jan. 30 through Feb. 3.
From a set of 799 of those surveys, the researchers found 74.6 percent of the event-goers were visiting from outside the New Orleans area.
Out of 185 respondents who answered that they lived in or around New Orleans, almost half came from Jefferson Parish to take in Super Bowl events, about 32 percent lived in New Orleans and the rest of the parishes in the metropolitan area sent much smaller numbers.
And honestly it was probably a bit more than that if they were only use those few venues to gauge numbers. I'd put it more to 200k total with 100k just for the party.

You just posted a massive step-by-step post about how important it is to characterize people's posts correctly, and then you post this:
No one ever said that New Orleans is the only place to properly hold the Super Bowl.
Also, you can't use the number of visitors to NYC as a way to predict the number of visitors to any other cold weather city.

But because I don't agree that N.O. is the only place to properly hold the Super Bowl I'm basically the devil here.

Read earlier in the thread. Pretty sure someone said that

You contradict yourself constantly.

Actual quote from earlier in the thread:

In fairness, that reads more as the person saying NO is the city best suited to host the Super Bowl, not that it's the only city capable of hosting it
Posted on 5/8/14 at 6:10 pm to VOLhalla
That's a huge difference from you claimed was said.
Posted on 5/8/14 at 6:18 pm to LL012697
I get what you're saying, but I honestly think it could go either way
Eta: just want to emphasis that I said host the Super Bowl properly, not that New Orleans was the only city that could

Notice how I didn't use quotations (which indicate that this is word for word what was said) then later claim this was "literally" what someone said. If you want to confine talking grammar you can message me.
You think there is a "huge difference" between saying New Orleans is the only place to properly hold a Super Bowl and no other city is fit to host major sporting events the way N.O. is? I respectfully disagree. I find both statements to be similar.

One means New Orleans is the best host while the other means no other city should host. So yes, that's a huge difference. Anyway, I'm going to abandon this thread now because you're too unreasonable and stubborn to hold a meaningful conversation that isn't centered around semantics.

No other city should host the Super Bowl if New Orleans is the only city fit to host a major sporting event the way that it is

You're really reaching here. It's pretty clear what he said. Nola does it best, which is why we keep getting them

I never said that people on this board think that other cities can't pull off hosting a Super Bowl. Merely that no other city has the combination of factors needed to host a major sporting event the way that N.O. does. So other cities can host Super Bowls but can't host a Super Bowl properly. That's all.
If you still think I'm reaching then we can just disagree.

Will bump in one year, or is 2019 considered a "very long time"?
ETA: You're still terrible.

I don't understand why you would want to bump this in a year when Atlanta wins, but if it makes you happy do it
