Sucks to lose a home game, but I'd gladly trade one to see a Superbowl here in Miami, and I don't mind having a Dolphins game start at 9:30 AM once during the season.

Because Dolphins fans are going to dump thousands and thousands of dollars to watch Seattle vs New England? :err:

I do this trip a lot for business. It's not the worst flight from the east coast but it's not like as fans it's so easy to get there + it costs a fortune. Season ticket holders of both teams get the shaft.

I do go to Europe (especially London) quite often as well. You are EWR based. It is not a bad hop from there. Miami is a different story. Only non stop flights to London is via British Airways and AA (as Miami is one of their hubs). The non stop flights from Miami are usually a couple hours longer than nonstops from EWR.
And if someone wants to save a dollar or two and picks one stop flights it becomes a 12-17 hour journey (depending on the length of the layover) - one way.
If you live in NJ you pick a Saturday night flight, arrive Sunday morning, go to the game in the afternoon, one night sleepover and Monday back.
 
I actually don't mind waking up to a game at 9:30. I get to hang out with some coffee and watch football... I only hate it when it's the Dolphins playing though. I love 1pm games.
 
if its a "road" game for us its a big advantage, very doubful we'd go into the superdome and win. but in london that would be a very winnable game.

More personal than anything. Could give a crap what everyone else would or wouldn't do.

Hopefully tom is retired by then, but I'd selfishly pay for almost any Superbowl just for the experience. However if it were the Patriots I'd probably sell the ticket. Only team I wouldn't want to watch.

I flew Virgin Atlantic out of Miami for last years game and it was awesome. Nice and comfy 8 hours on a gigantic plane, all the free booze i could handle. not too expensive either.

Virgin is an excellent airline. Forgot about them. I took them one year back from London. Just the staff alone is a pleasure to have a round. The problem with Virgin is I don't think they have everyday service.
 
I will be there for that game. Just picking up on the total lack of NE Patriots International games or LACK of. With their rule breaking record and rumors of blatant favouritism by the NFL with schedule planning, poor penalties and fines and constant media love fest with this team I'm suprised the NFL dont want to push their love child team onto another shore and expand the Patriot love...strange that has not happened.

None that I've seen, and never said we hadn't. A buddy of mine went to the last one in 2010, 19 year old me didn't want to spend the coin.

Again, selfishly I'm happy to see Ross do what he has to do to get a Super Bowl, and while it sucks to lose a home game...I'd venture to say we haven't done much better at home than we have at London over the last few years.

Not gonna join the boohoo crowd on this one.
