Oh, if this could only happen a week earlier next year. Could be Roger Goodell's Bud Selig moment except 1 million times more significant.

That would be the greatest thing ever except for the fact that there would never be another cold weather Super Bowl ever...
I want Super Bowls in Denver, Chicago, Philly etc... I know it will never happen, but I think it would be cool if it did...

I haven't heard what the NFL plans for halftime - a big plastic bubble? just go with it? (don't know how instruments respond to freezing temps) or just live cast it from somewhere else?
It isn't like anyone would notice whether the show was at the Meadowlands or not given the way they produce the thing (unless it was snowing)

You have noooooooo idea how happy I am that all we're getting is rain here. The biggest boner you could ever imagine isn't as big as the one I have for not getting any snow here. Figuratively speaking, of course

Having a storm hit on the weekend mitigates the problems a considerable amount. I'm sure it'll suck, but if we don't lose power at my house, we'll be OK. I have a snowblower, and we have plenty of food, wine and beer. Also, we have meal plans for meals that can be cooked on the gas stovetop if the power goes out, and firewood on the screen porch where we can get to it. Of course, that's only good for a day or so. More than a day without power and life becomes quite difficult when the temps grope down for zero.

I love the idea. I'd rather see a game played in football weather than a game stopped for 30 minutes for a power outage. I realize the two are not mutually exclusive.
Outdoor Super Bowl in winter weather would be the perfect excuse to kill the halftime show.
Enough already

A friend posted this off Facebook. Quite a difference than the one above...

And here's one for you nostalgia fans: the Blizzard of 78 remembered.

I confess a certain fondness for a writer who uses phrases such as "a genitals-chilling 38 inches of snow."

I'd love to see a Super Bowl snow game, myself.
A game like that would certainly shatter all the TV ratings records. A big snow the week leading up to the game, though, is bad, like what happened in Dallas. That was ice, though, which was worse.

I forget where I saw it, but MSG is an option for the halftime show.
