Superbowl Idea

[Montsta]

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.

if they made the probowl and superbowl tix a package, that would be a way to get more attendance and interest in the probowl.

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

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

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.

btw, did you see how the stands were empty at the Probowl?

Yeah, just make everyone buy a flight to Hawaii once a year.

 

What's funny as that if the Superbowl was this Tuesday and in Atlanta, the snow storm that is going to hit could've caused plane delays just like people say the NJ Super Bowl would if it snowed.

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

It's like that every Pro Bowl.

If my team was in it, wherever the fug it was. I'm going for the game, not to clown around.

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.

I'd go to Santa Clara because, well, then I could walk there.  :)
