The Super Bowl shouldn't be played in the elements. There could be 16 feet of snow and 30 below zero and the NFC championship game should go on. Not the super bowl. The elements should be superb, and the best team should win.

I disagree!

The elements has always been part of the game.

I'm sick of the Superbowl being played in Domes.

I'd be for rhe Superbowl being only in outdoor stadiums. I'm smart enough to know it'll never happen.

But fug the perfecr game.

To be the best ya gotta beat the best in any environment.

Why do you ever have a contingency plan?

"Just in case..."

Just in case you aren't as prepared for the volatile weather this time of year in the Northeast, even though they are so confident in dealing with it. Got it, noted for future trips. I know everything has a contingency plan but to be this public about it doesn't make me anymore confidence in them. This has disaster written all over it, if not this one then it could be the next one they try. Keep it indoors or in the deep south where the weather is more predictable, so that the biggest news going into the game isn't about your contingency plan.

Things can't go wrong in warm climates or indoor settings?

There's a whole load of pregame panic over this stuff, and I'll bet nothing winds up happening.

Missing the point, it's about the predictability of the weather. The less predictable, Northeast winter weather, the more likely you need to become contingent. The more predictable, South to Southwest winter weather, the less likely you are to need the contingency. I'm a numbers guy, you don't put your most valuables in the most risky environments.

When was the last time a Super Bowl didn't happen as planned?

93% of the Super Bowls have been either South of Atlanta, Southern Cali, or lower Texas; 6% have been played in either the NE or MW, of those 6%, they were all in domes. Maybe one has used a contingency plan from what I know. Not sure how much clearer I can be with all of this. During that same time frame this became the most popular game in the world, why risk losing viewership, attendance, and revenue. Don't fix it if it's not broken. (The other handful was in Arizona, don't know much about that area to even post a response, but I'm sure it's nothing like NE as far as weather)

You think the NFL just accidentally picked those sites? No, there is a reason. If it's not as clear to you now it will be the more they play around with this idea.

I think those sites were picked by the Super Bowl committee, same as this one. People keep talking like Roger Goodell chose the site himself, but the selection process was no different than any other year.

I also have to laugh at the people saying "it's all about money" as if that means something. Yeah, like a Super Bowl set somewhere else wouldn't have made money.

Bottom Line: A whole load of people are gonna panic like it's the end of the world, and nothing will wind up happening.

I'm not going to get into personal jabs with you but at this point I'm really wondering. It's about revenue loss by way of less attendance and viewership. TV contracts and commercials are a huge chunk of the SB revenue. I can name quite a few people that won't be able to watch it if it is moved or delayed within the contingency plan. Don't think if less people are viewing there won't be lost revenue ramifications for future SBs in this area. Like I said it might not be this year but all it will take is one time and the "Super Bowl Comittee" will have no choice but to go back to what they did, where thy have a 98% success ratio.

How many people do you know that have actually went to a Super Bowl? I would rather stay at home with good beer, and grill out. People are going to the Super Bowl no matter what. A snow storm I think would add to the Super Bowl viewership. Only people whining about a cold weather Super Bowl are those that live in warm weather cities that want the extra revenue. I'm tired of bright and sunny games or games in a dome. If the best team wins then shouldn't the best team be able to play in any weather?

No. Let the teams play each other without the excuse of the weather hurting/helping them. SC did a special Friday morning, because tickets are not as in demand (as previous Super Bowls) they have had to reduce the prices. Ticket master saw a drop an average $500 decrease per ticket. The NFL was still confident they will have a full stadium, as with all other SBs but we are already seeing at a fraction of the revenue. I'm done with this subject.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
