The NFL isn't going to have a Super Bowl in New Orleans for a long time
You really have no idea what you're talking about. Outside of the lights going out, the Super Bowl in New Orleans had nothing but positive praise. New Orleans has plenty wrong with it, but no other city is fit to host major sporting events the way NOLA is. Proximity to literally everything that's fun is key.

Minnesota's new stadium will be too nice to keep the Super Bowl out for too long.
Winters in Minnesota are pretty fricking awful, but Minneapolis, in general, is a really nice city with no shortage of nightlife between downtown, uptown, and university areas.

I don't understand why people assume the weather will keep Minnesota from hosting a Super Bowl. Detroit hosted a Super Bowl in the last decade.
Detroit.
Detroit.

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.

These power outage jokes never get old. Just throw in some Katrina jokes as well for the exacta.

It delayed the broadcast of the Super Bowl for more than 30 minutes.
It makes the NFL look incompetent
Malfunctions like these open up a lot of liability issues. What if someone had been injured because the lights went out?

THE HORROR! Do you think most people were saying "screw this shite, I'm turning it off". Or were they saying, "What the frick, lets wait and see what happens..this is crazy".

Reaching. All you had in your back pocket was the 30 minute delay, and you are scrambling to find excuses. Give it up. NOT ONCE did anyone put the NFL's name on the power outage. It was all New Orleans, all Super Dome.

This isn't worth a response. Reply back to me if you want, but I'm not wasting my time with someone that won't change their stupid opinion.

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.

I was talking more from a production stand point. Power goes out and suddenly you have an undefined amount of dead air. You have to fill that time with something then juggle how it affects advertisements. It's a major hassle.

You don't think the NFL wasn't embarrassed that it couldn't produce a Super Bowl without the power going out? Really?!

You don't think the NFL takes legal liability seriously?
New Orleans will obviously host a Super Bowl again, but the NFL isn't going to write off the blackout.

Seattle is an awesome city, however they do not have the hotels to hold enough for such an event.

Laugh all you want. Proximity to literally everything, plenty of hotels, great music, and on and on and on. Many writers have said the Super Bowl should just be in NOLA every year. There's a reason it gets so many major events. Keep laughing, while it continues to get major sporting events.

There are plenty of US cities where there are both hotels and a stadium located close together

Forgot about the new stadium for the 49ers. But yeah, Seattle is in play, Denver is in play, and a host of others. Minneapolis is cold but it's unique with the sky tunnels - you don't have to go outside that often. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the NFL decided to go crazy and have it in London one year. And I think this years Super Bowl showed the NFL that fans are willing to buy tickets to colder venues. That opens up a lot of doors for the NFL.

Err? You can't really be serious.
Shitty-over-priced run down accomdations in a cramped city - where most people have to stay outside of the city?
You aren't thinking about adult fans with families - just kids partying.
Miami, L.A., San Diego, Dallas are all currently better until N.O. upgrades their shite.

I'm from South Louisiana, and I love New Orleans and agree it is truly a unique city, but some of y'all are blinded by your love by pretending that it is heads and shoulders above every other city in being able to host an event like the Super Bowl.

No one? I'm sure the millions it brought to the city this year gave a few people a reason to care.
