The verdict is unanimous. No Super Bowl should be in anything other than a drop-dead warm weather locale.
Or New Orleans.
People come for a getaway, not an ordeal. I'm not talking media. We get shuttled around in buses. We have things to do. But the fans and sponsors who congregate at a Super Bowl expect a nice little February warm-weather junket. Good Lord, they pay enough to get one.
This does restrict the field to Miami, San Diego and New Orleans, at least until LA gets a proper stadium. And since Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego is clearly inadequate to the task, that whittles it down to Miami and New Orleans.
So?
At least next year in Indianapolis no one will be terribly inconvenienced by bad weather because everything is within walking distance. Don't even think about what a debacle the 2014 Super Bowl in the Meadlowlands could become.
