Superbowl Idea

Was watching the pro bowl last night and shortly thereafter watching a quick blurb on the crap weather for the Super Bowl and was thinking why don't they just do the Superbowl in Hawaii every year? You could have the probowl festivities a week before and NFL fans could make a week of it. The weather is always beautiful and I'm sure players families would love it. Maybe if you get selected to the probowl and show up to the game, you get two tickets to the Superbowl as well? Have an entire section of the best players in the NFL at the Superbowl. That would be kinda cool. Maybe entice players to show up to the probowl too? I was thinking that my wife would love to go if it was in Hawaii, so it may draw more casual fans to want to go. She certainly isn't going to want to take a week vacation to Houston or Indianapolis.

I understand that money is involved for local economies when the game rotates, but it might be better for the NFL as a whole to do this?

Discuss.

because why should only Hawaii get the benefits of hosting a super bowl. thats big time revenue for a city.

Why should Hawaii benefit from tourism in February? Because Chicago and Green Bay suck in February. It may be lost income for some cities but it would create a much better product IMO.

the superbowl brings bazillions of dollars of revenue to local economics and if hawaii hogged that every year there'd be a lot of people with tweaked nuts

If you were gonna go to a Super Bowl and had the option of New York, Santa Clara, or Hawaii which would you choose?

I love the idea of Hawaii being in the rotation like N.O. and Miami but I don't think it should be there every year.  It is probably a logistical problem as I'm sure the NFL has thought of this before.

 

Aloha stadium has a capacity of 50,000 so that might also be the issue.

hawaii, of course, but in this case the locational desires of ticket consumers will be completely outgunned by the desires of politicians and municipal leaders who know what they've got to lose.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
