Do you think that the Super Bowl should be played outside in cold climates? Why or why not?

I do think the Super Bowl should be played outside in cold climates. I love the fact that the weather can be a part of the game and I wish the NFL would give Northern teams without domes a chance to host the Super Bowl. I don't believe that playing in the cold (or snow) is an unfair disadvantage to Southern teams. Players for southern college teams travel north to play during the regular season and in bowl games, so they have experience playing in the cold. And quite a few NFL players went to college or grew up in the north, so they're used to the cold.

Yes, I think that is a great idea.  Why should people who live in the midwest have to pay for some rich person's vacation home, because it was obliterated by a hurricane?  If you are going to choose to live in an area, you should be willing to accept the consequences of what comes along with it!  You can't have the best of both worlds!  Coastal areas don't pay for my snowplowing!  I definitely think some areas get LOTS more federal dollars because they live in areas that tend to have catastrophic weather more often, yet they don't pay higher taxes due to living in a higher risk area.  NOT FAIR!!

Temperature in the 30s cannot be termed 'ideal' to play football where players need to run and be active for most of the 90 minutes play - it does affect players but it cannot be an acceptable reason for below-par performances and losing because all other teams including the Europeans also play in hot sunny conditions. What if Japan were to play in South Africa 2010? To find fault in the weather however valid in your perspective is still a lame excuse. Japan simply under performed.

where i am was in the 50s today but it was raining a little bit, like drizzly and all. it's not that bad but i don't REALLY like it because it's just dreary and wet. but snow is a lot better. i love snow, and i don't mind the cold weather. i would much rather prefer it be cold enough to snow so it can ACTUALLY snow. i like going out in the snow, but not so much the rain. snow is better.

I will take a CFL game over an NFL.\nI can relate better with the teams (being Canadian and all), the history of the league is just amazing, much faster game, IMO better athletes.\nAnd when it comes time for the Grey Cup, we'll play it in the snow. I hate the NFL always playing in a dome or in the South for the Super Bowl. Give Buffalo or New England a super bowl. \n\nI could list more, just can't think right now. I still do like the NFL though, I just prefer the CFL\n\nEDIT: by chance is gunther being a smart@ss, or just plain stupid?

Have a Winter Sport.  Build a snowman, throw a snowball, go sledding, go to the movies, rent a movie.  Because when the weather is nice, we don't waste a minute of it in front of the TV or at the movies.  We are boating, fishing, camping, watersking, wakeboarding, just floating in a tube soaking up the sunshine storing it up for a rainy day.  I'm from Sunny San Diego, but moved to beautiful northern Idaho and wouldn't go back for anything.  Not even for constant sunshine.

I'd really love to visit some time and catch a (NFL) Football game.\n\nI love the work hard/ play hard culture.

Absolutely agree that it should be "Football",\n'cause that's the original name, and that's what the rest of\nthe world use, and it's really played with foot/feet.\n\nThe American Football should be called something like\n"tackle-ball" or "American Rugby" instead, 'cause they really\ndo not play it with feet much -- the main action is not\nkicking but passing & tackling (not using feet, but using arms\nand body, ...and body armours)...

I think yes, definately! I work on Alaska's North Slope and I know that sound absolutely travels better at extremely cold temperatures. When it is minus 40 or 50 F you can hear vehicles coming from a much greater distance for example. Can't say why exactly. Maybe because the molecules in the air are closer together (condensed) and therefore transmit sound more efficiently (like water).

Open air theme parks need mild weather with large population centers to operate. The weather in Phoenix is too extreme in the summer (when everyone is vacationing). I would say it is not a good bet.

Yes. First playoff game will be in the cold at Soldier Field.\n\nIf Tampa Bay wins next week the Bears play the Bucs.\n\nIf Washington wins then the Bears play winner of Giants/Panthers.\n\nGo Bears.

I guess if its outside and you play on it during the winter you would need a cover.  But you would think that outside glass basketball backboards would be made to be winterized...
