Under consideration is expanding the current playoff format from 12 teams to 14 teams. The owners, however, never indicated a vote would take place at the meeting.
More than anything, a handful of owners wanted to take a wait-and-see approach as they discussed more details such as revenues, format, and even workers compensation concerns recently brought up by the NFLPA in reaction to legislation in New Orleans.
quote:New Orleans has staged 10 Super Bowls and is tied with South Florida for the most.
The owners are still in the process of discussing a variety of topics, including which city will host the 2018 Super Bowl. The candidates are New Orleans, Indianapolis and Minneapolis -- with New Orleans considered the favorite.
