Might be interesting....

One thing I don't understand is if you are playing someplace where it's cold and snows, why don't you have a freaking roof over the football field? Duh.

that's some really bad reporting right there. verging on click bait really, don't you think?

its up to the owners :helpme to put in a roof :Oh crap they are very costly

as a Giants season tkt holder I am a huge fan of playing the game in the elements

I hope its cold and snowy for the SB

Bullshit.

Play it on Sunday bad weather or not.

Could you imagine the outcry if the nfl required a dome over lambeau field because it's cold and snows there sometimes?

My opinion: If you schedule the Superbowl in a cold weather stadium that doesn't have a dome, you know damn well you're gambling with the weather. Goodell/NFL should be prepared for shitty weather.

And my opinion, let it fucking snow. But play the game as scheduled. Don't give me this shit about adding to many variables and teams can't play up to par in snowy weather. Good teams adapt. Some great games were played this season in the snow (Detroit @ Philadelphia). I would love to see an extra variable thrown into the Superbowl.

watch the vid brassmonkey posted in post#4, the nfl and goodell are more than ready, the story is made-up by cbs spews.

I admittedly didn't watch the video (or click the link), but this isn't the first time in the past month or so that I've heard this kind of talk. I fell into the "if I hear it multiple times, it must be true" mindset about the NFL/Goodell. My bad. :(

puff puff ball should be played in any weather

My point exactly. The game was played outdoors for decades in every conceivable weather situation.

Sorry, didn't mean it to be accusatory. I just found the news clip funny due to it having goodell and nfl folks on record saying they're moving forward with the game on Sunday but the cbs *experts* talking about the game might not be played Sunday.

Open air stadium in NJ middle of winter, what were they expecting!

Plus there was that ice cold game at Green Bay weeks ago, so if they did not move that "regular" game it would be crazy to believe they would move the finals.

yup.

and that game didn't even break into the top 10 coldest games!

Oh that's just awesome. :thumbsup

Some players hate the roof!

I'm one of them; the lights fucks with me all game, the air is like breathing through a stale towel and the artificial turf is as hard as pavement.
Turf was hell years ago but it has improved big time so maybe I wouldn't mind turf these days.

The biggest scars I have on my body now were all made from turf when I played.

CANCEL THE SUPERBOWL!!

Mike Ditka has chimed in with all of his infinite wisdom:

Ditka continues...

He's not done yet...

Discussion over.

Wait, remind me what NFL city Ditka coached in again? :upsidedow

Ditka's a legend for a couple reasons, one being he's bitchy.

:1orglaugh

80,000 fans are going to be pissed off if that happens. 80,000 plans ruined and needing to be reworked just because some overpaid pussies don't want to slug it out in the elements? That's exactly what 80,000 people are looking forward to.

The NFL won't move the game day. Too big a risk of backlash from pissed off fans who made plans weeks ago.

Yeah, I agree with you.
I would be insane mad if I had bought plane tickets and hotel already.

Ditka does have a point though. For regular season and playoff games np, but the superbowl should be in a venue where nice weather is typical or in a covered stadium.
