I don't know if I missed the thread. Don't know if it just didn't interest me at the time. But I've been thinking about the Supersite proposal off and on all week. I thought I'd share my thoughts about it. I'd like to know your take on it too.
First I have to commend the commissioner on his chosen words to describe the plan. It is indeed "visionary". It shows alot of thinking "out of the box" by Wayne Huizenga and the Dolphins organization. I didn't really understand Huizenga's reorganization of Dolphins football earlier this year. I didn't understand his proposal for all of the extra facilities before this proposal was released neither. Now I see the light.
I think if fans of other teams can get over the original thought that it's a mighty "Dolphin indulgent" idea they too may see that this conceptual idea would be simply amazing if it was pulled off.
Let's look at the nostalgia created by a supersite.
Any NASCAR fans here? The first time I ever went to Daytona was as an adult. I had two kids and a wife with me and Daytona was really just a short two stay at the beach prior to moving on to Orlando. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the Daytona experience was actually more fun for my entire family than Universal Studios could provide. It was a compact adventure. We toured the entire facility. On display was Jeff Gordon's 400 winning car. We saw the penny glued to Dale Earnhardt's 500 winning car's dash. We saw film of finish after historical finish. We were astounded by the embankment of the turns. We walked the place that we had seen on TV for years. My oldest son and I participated in a pit stop. I had the jack. He had a tire. The kids loved it. They watched races more intently the following year. Heck, at the conclusion of the Daytona experience we had to go race cars at the Go Kart track across the street.
Tell me now. Where was the 2004 Super Bowl held? How about 2003? Wouldn't it bring a little more excitement to the Super Bowl, a little enjoyment for you if you could stand with your son right above the spot that Tennessee Titan reached for the goal line? He missed the touchdown and a possible win at the Super Bowl by a yard!!! Where was that Super Bowl held? Most people can't remember. It's just another place that had a game. Nobody remembers.
I could propably go on with more examples of a Super Bowl or Football celebration. But I think you probably get my drift. It's missing something. It's missing a huge thing for the game-for the love of the game.
Wayne is on the right track. I don't care where they place these "supersites". The idea is just too good to pass up.
