A New York Super Bowl is a horrible idea

When the Super Bowl heads to New York in 2014, it will be a day of firsts. The first Super Bowl played in the brand new Meadowlands Stadium. The first Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold weather city. And, most importantly, the first Super Bowl a lot of people will have no interest in attending.
When Super Bowl XLIIâ��was played in Glendale, Ariz., Feb. 3, 2008, I was there. Well, I should clarify. I wasn’t at the game, but I have a friend who lives in the Valley in Arizona, and I and a group of friends all headed south to sunny and warm Arizona to take in the Super Bowl festivities that were taking place throughout the week from Glendale to Scottsdale.
The key part of that last sentence? Sunny and warm.
When the NFL awarded the 2014 Super Bowl to New York, it set a precedent that I don’t think needed to be set. The Super Bowl will be played outdoors in a cold city at the beginning of February, and there very well could be a lot of empty seats, depending on how the weather is that day.
