While it might be kinda cool to see a snow game from time to time, it'll hurt the game more than it would entertain us.

much like the city of new orleans has a bond with its football team, many northern cities share a similar bond

people will watch the super bowl regardless of where it is played

not as many things to do in chicago or new york as there are in new orleans?

i beg to differ

the climate may make the game colder, but its not going to prevent tourism all together

i think this is just like a Y2K scare......we are worried because its never happened but in the end it really wont make a difference
