Good. It didn't feel right that the Pro Bowl wasn't played in Hawaii this year. I'm glad that it's going back home.

The Saints won't be playing in that one, either.

I lived on Oahu for 4 yrs when I was in the Army (Schofield Barracks).

Attended 4 Pro Bowls @ Aloha Stadium. Even had a Saintsation ask me to be her tour guide (she was staying in Hawaii for an additional week). I was then happily married, so no-go on that.

I am happy it will return "home". It is very important to the local economy and I just think the game belongs there.

I wouldn't get used to it. This was the first year, that the probowl sold out, in like twenty five years, when it was in the same city as the Superbowl. Guaranteed it won't sell out next year, and it will be moved to the superbowl city for good after that.

If it gets played at all. Some people are speculating about putting the game out of its misery very soon. None of the players even want to play it anymore anyway.

True ... at least to a certain inscription laden Cabernet bottle in a certain restaurant in Indy!

I just hope they don't have another one of those giant 3 ft. tsunami waves while they're over there like I spent a couple of hours waiting for the other day. The things we get to watch live on TV nowadays.

Just off the top of my head within the last few years I've watched a tsunami, a war, a couple of buildings collapse, and a tornado...live...on TV.

What an age of communications we live in today...tomorrow...star trek.
