Thirty days, next case.

BB - I know you are smarter than this.

Comparing the street corners of Detroit to Broadway, Central Park, and The Village is bordering lunacy, don't you think?

I know a lot of people think everything in NYC but the game, and it is the encompassing market, but Jersey is no slouch either.

While a majority of the country thinks "NJ Drive" or "The Sopranos" when NJ is brought up, a majority of people, NJ residents included, have never been in Ironbound Newark, Bloomfield Ave through Montclair & Caldwell, or even the waterfront in Jersey City, Weehawkin, or Hoboken.

I'm not comparing NJ's entertainment markets and venues to NYCs but this tri-state area has a lot more to offer than hanging on the street corner of Detroit and a lot of other major warm weather cities.

Tampa is the first city that comes to mind but you can only spend so much time in a faux New Orleans (That's Ybor City to those whom have never been there) and go to a dog track.

And no refund either; just a guaranteed ticket to the following years game provided you are willing to pay full price again.

As someone who did train and came back to NY just for the race, I couldn't agree more.

The pussification of this country needs to cease. It's getting downright ridiculous. Play the game as if it were any other Super Bowl, because barring the chance of a little snow and giving out blankets to fans, it is.

This would be a tremendous source of revenue right there. How may people would buy the blanket, just to say they bought a blank from the super bowl?

Here's the answer....it ain't about the game, it's about the 100,000 bloated billionaires who haven't watched a single football game in 10 years wandering around the week before playing golf and spending billions of dollars at fine dinning joints. Fuck that. PLAY BALL!!!!!

Well the bloated billionaires are going to be annoyed they have to wait in the cold/weather for two hours to get through security, among other things. And I can't wait to see how bad traffic is lol.

Yup, and in NYc or north Jersey,nthat ain't possible?

SMMFD.


Football ismamwinter sport. And of all the cold weather places, NYC, is the one that can support the event. But the NFL would run to Lambeau first.

Now that I think about it, if the list were Miami, NO, Phoenix and San Diego, that would be fine.

I wouldn't want to live in Arizona these days, but for an SB visit, Phoenix is top shelf.

Houston is meh but Phoenix is top-shelf? Not sure if serious.
