They are giving these cities Super Bowls because of the contribution of public money....kinda like an award for allowing a billionaire to use your money to help build his team's new house. While I don't have a problem with it, Minneapolis in Feb is not a better site for a Super Bowl than New Orleans. San Diego, I'm sure, would make a great site. Atlanta....not so much.

But that is a problem with how the NFL is allowed to operate as a non-profit trade organization. The local owners, and yes Benson is just as guilty as the others, are the ones that are making off like bandits. There's not many businesses in the world that are allowed to be fully profitable and receive free rent on the backs of the tax payers.

The Minnesota people were proud that with the new stadium's skyway connections and underground parking, there will be no reason for anyone attending the game to go outside, you don't even have to see Minneapolis.
