My brother lives near there. It was below freezing for like 80 days straight and snowed up til just a few weeks ago in May. So yea, it makes walking around outside not that enjoyable for anyone.

Why? The NFL had Super Bowls in Detroit and Minneapolis while he was commish.
Granted the Minneapolis SB in 92 was awarded just before he took the position.

Yea a majority taxpayer funded 1 billion dollar stadium had nothing to do with it.

Lol at everyone crying about snow. It's not that fricking bad.

the guy is clearly pretty fricking dumb, why are you debating him?

Looking forward to Bridgewater winning his fifth consecutive Super Bowl in front of his home fans.

How anyone thought the selection was going to be anywhere BUT Minneapolis is beyond me. New stadium = Super Bowl host, quickly. For Christ sakes, the NFL has within the last 10 years held Super Bowls at such "destination" cities as Indianapolis and Jacksonville solely because they built new stadiums. If Juneau, Alaska had a NFL team and opened a new stadium next year, they would get a Super Bowl within 3 years of opening.
Lets face it, is there a US city better suited for hosting a Super Bowl than New Orleans?
Weather affecting the game not a concern - check
Generally mild temperatures - check
Stadium, hotels, entertainment all within walking distance of one another - check
Experience in handling large crowds - check
World famous restaurants and entertainment venues - check

Minneapolis is clearly an underrated city on here...it isn't as great a host city as NOLA, but it's still a good city to host even despite the weather. People should get used to this though, money talks nowadays, the whole wanting to give everyone else a chance to host is just a charade for giving the game to new shiny stadiums with a ton of luxury boxes for the wine and cheese crowd, gameday experience for the average fan be damned

It's like because another city can be a good host, we're saying New Orleans isn't the best, or even that New Orleans is a bad host. No one is saying that. New Orleans is the best, but other places can be good too.

So Prince is basically obligated to play Purple Rain in its entirety at halftime, right?

Yep.

So all of those things he listed except for 40% of them?

The stadium will be covered so the weather won't affect the game and if you think it is too cold to go outside you don't have to. The skyway system connects a lot of downtown Minneapolis and will connect to the stadium. You can go from your hotel to bars, restaurants, the game, the university of Minnesota, and a plethora of shops and entertainment venues without braving the outside.

Lol at the NOLA butthurt

It's ridiculous. If you want to hang out outside in cold weather just dress appropriately. Millions of small children learn this at a young age. You can have an awesome time at any large American city in almost any weather.

Those two are climate related and not a concern for a lot of football fans.

it really wasnt even that bad during the Dallas SB ice storm and we dont even have much equipment to deal with that kind of stuff.
people just like to cry and moan.
especially the punk arse cry baby sports media.
holy shite you'd think they were getting sent into a war zone with the way they complain when they don't get the pampering they believe they deserve.

People are way too soft now. "Oh no it will be 30 degrees."
Wear a coat pansy. Simo Hayha laughs at your pussiness.
