Detroit is NOT the only northern city to host a Superbowl. Minneapolis hosted SuperBowl XXVI.

I agree that the super bowl rarely reaches expectations,usually winds up as a boring game and the outcome is decided very early but it does bring revenue to the city where it's played,it gives fans something to look forward to and it keeps family members together at least for that day,but to blame the game itself for the wrongs of some players is not right.

Part of it is so that no team has home-field advantage, as other people said. That's important since it's just one game. Other sports have a championship series where three games are at one place and four are at the other. Both teams get a pretty even shot. You can't do that with the Super Bowl.\n\nThe other reason is the amount of people who go to the Super Bowl. You have tons of media, advertisers, team representatives, and other people who come in for just this one event whether they go to the game or not. They all need hotels, and that needs to be set up a year or so in advance. Do you remember after Septbember 11, 2001, when the NFL tried to move the Super Bowl one week later and had huge problems with it? They eventually got it moved, but it was a huge headache for the hotels and the car dealer convetion that had to move.

It isnt about the region of LA supporting a team, trust me, there are enough people in that metropolis that would support a team.\n\nActually, UncleDaddy was fairly close in his opening line about "if you build it, they will come."  The biggest problem is the cost to build it.  Not that it would be so expensive in relation to other new stadiums/domes, but that the people are not willing to take the tax burden that other cities have accepted to build the stadium.\n\nIf the fans ever do accept the tax burden (highly unlikely, CA just shot down the Sacramento Kings for new stadium for something like 7th time on recent ballot) then the NFL will quickly act to move or expand a team to LA.

Because Lamar Hunt(owner of the Kansas City Chiefs) saw his daughter playing with a high bounce ball as we call them. He asked her what is was called. She said it was a superball, yeah another name for the same thing. He liked the name and suggested naming the NFL Championship game the Super Bowl. I think though that you are mistaken with the World Series of Baseball when only the U.S. and Canada have teams that can play in it. You are now just getting picky and silly. Super Bowl just a refrence to importance and how great it is not to country.

You are crazy. LA isn't that civilized, and football isn't as barbaric as you think. Oh and also remember the Raiders were in LA with their crazy fans. Now they are back in Oakland, which isn't far away and I'm sure some people from LA go there.

im a canadian. The People in the us take football WAY too sriously. Some of them would sell their first born just to get into a game. I went to the orange bowl once in flordia, and the first thing i noticed was that almost everyone had their team colours on and that they were getting wasted out of their mimds just for a football game. There was fights and even a stabbing. People in the US take it like it was life and death. I mean some of them are F ucking nuts. oh and as for football being all american , it was invented by canadians uh burn. oh soccer umm its not really big in north america not even here in canada, Esspecially not in the US.

I live appx. 30 Miles NW outside of Metro Detroit. You say you want to but in Detroit for taxes?  Are you looking for a tax shelter?\nSince the Superbowl, Detroit property costs must have increased, as many funds have been put into renovating the city.\nDetroit is a very large city with a variety of areas. Perhaps you may want to look directly on the internet at available apartment buildings.  \nI'm uncertain of exactly what you are looking for here.

No! The state kissed their asses, and screwed over the Twins, when the Metrodaome was built. They got THEIR stadium in 1982, and definitely don't NEED a new one. The only reason they want a new stadium is that they're crying over luxury boxes. When the well deserving, and two time World Series Champs, Twins get their BASEBALL ONLY stadium, then the crybaby, and four (4) time Super Bowl losers, Vikings can RENOVATE the Metrodome. And, if those whiners(Vikings) start threatening to leave the state if they don't get what they want, then should be asked to leave. After all what has this "expansion" franchise ever done for Minnesota?

There has been a lot of debate about this topic in the past 5 years. As you know, Houston was the last city to recieve a nfl football team. First off, there has been talk about relocation of the St. Louis Rams. If this happens to be true, the primary locate of re-expansion is Los Vegas, Nevada. Los Vegas is number one on most lists. However, the actual staduim would be out of city limits. The next place that an nfl team could be molded is Lincoln, Nebraska. Thank you.

The announced this week that they are looking to put a team in Cleveland or St. Louis.  If a team goes into Cleveland, I'd think that it would not be likely that Detroit would get one.

It's a mess.  It has the potential to be a great city, but unfortunately the ones that run the city have wrecked it, and have made it a laughing stock of the entire country.\nIt's really sad, because Detroit has a lot of great parts to it.  No one will see them,however,  because they are too afraid to visit, and I really can't blame them.

I have seen the game 3 times and all the "bad calls" and the only call that was bad for the Seahawks was the one on the QB for the chop block. The Steelers could complain about the refs as well. There was a fumble by #86 we did not get and a block in the back on the Steelers QB Ben during the interception return that was not called. Besides how could people be surprised the the Steelers won, they beat better teams than Seattle in the run up to the Super Bowl. Clearly the Steelers are the better team. Seattle played a weak schedule in a weak conference in a weak division. They did not play the level of competition the Steelers did.

You are referring to the Middle East.  Each society has a way of celebrating good news.  We have some civil disobedience when the city wins the World Series or Super Bowl.

Well, I know New Orleans USED to be one of the worst....ahem.\n\n\n(BTW, NYC is one of the best)
