Pro Bowl...Would you move the location?

Moving the pro-bowl abroad even would make more sense than having a regular season game outside of the US.
I would hate it if we lost a home game abroad.

 

Is anything sacred in this league anymore? What is the need to change the location? who cares if fans can't go? it's a dull game that is probably as overpriced as a reg season game. Hawaii is a reward for the players, it's not a real game and it never will be. Just leave it as it is.

 

I agree with junc leave it in Hawaii, who wants to see an overpriced basically two-hand touch game anyway.

 

Stop having the game period. I don't know anyone in my area that watches it anyway.

Name an All-Pro Team and that's that.

If I were in Hawaii, I'd have better things to do than go to the game.

 

How about the Arctic Circle? According to all the nuts, it's like 85 degrees there or something, anyway. Don't forget the sunscreen!

 

Nothing is about the fans anymore, if it was we wouldn't have the season starting the week after Labor Day, we wouldn't see night games in cold weater Cities, we wouldn't see these NFL network games, we wouldn't see all the halftime entertainment during playoff games, we wouldn't see that great big commericial known as the SB. None of it is about the fans, the PB is the one event which is all about the players and it should be It's a borefest of a game, why would a fan want to go except for the experience of a Hawaii vacation?

I'd rather they work on so many other areas that screw the fans than the meaningless, borefest that is the Pro Bowl.

 

My prediction is that it will move to the Continental US as soon as the Hawaii deal is up.

 

What's your problem with all that?

 

-Labor Day weekend is the perfect weekend to start b/c we have off on that Monday.

-Night games in Cold weather Cities just isn't fair to the fans, it is evry cold in Dec and jan and even colder at night. Someone will eventually die from those conditions, maybe then they'll realize how asinine an idea it is.

-The NFL Network is great but putting games on it while 70% of the Country doesn't yet have NFL Network is clearly not a good move for the fans.

I can go on and on:

-The asinine idea of moving game a year to foreign countries.

-The later starts in th playoffs, it used to be great when the games were all 12:30 PM and 4PM. the day would be wrapped up by 7 or so but now they have nigt games and then the conf Championships start after 6 so they don't end until around 10 or so.

-Making season ticket holders buy preseason tickets, raising ticket prices every single year.

-The flex scheduling.

-5 million commericals betwenn plays.

-The commerical and concert that is interrupted by football(otherwise known as the Super Bowl).

There is nothing the NFL does that is for the fans, everything is taking advantage of loyalty of the fans.

 

:up: The NFL is now a global brand and if it wants to expand like it pertains to , then these late late starts are no good at all.

THAT really pisses me off no end , talk about no continuity

 

Yeah, but this is about the fans. Many people take vacations that weekend. That is the last summer weekend of fun for many families.
Ratings indicated that fans don't like Labor Day weekend NFL action.

Oh, boo hoo.
Maybe the Jets and Patriots and Packers can move to Sacramento, Orlando and San Antonio, respectively.

I don't think it was great for people on the west coast when they had games starting at 9:30 in the morning.
I thoroughly enjoy the current start times.

 

I don't even know any fans who watch the probowl. It's boring.

It is an award for the players. Multi million dollar contracts are just paychecks. Just because the player salary's trump the average joe's salary, it doesn't mean they don't deserve a reward, or in this case, a vacation if their performance at work is so deserving.

 

hawaii is a great spot for it, and it sells out every year. Also hawaii has alot of football fans, but will never get an nfl team because of travel schedules, o they deserve one game even if it does suck.

 

You don't go to the games, do you? it's cold enough in the afternoon, it's DANGEROUSLY cold at night. it's asinine to have night games in dec and january not to mention the games run so long b/c of commericals so they don't end until around midnight and most people have to work the next day. Football is an afternoon sport, let's not turn it into baseball where everything happens at night and runs after midnight- that's where we are headed b/c that's where the most money is and not b/c it benefits the fans.

WC fans get all the benefits when it comes to sports and I'd rather watch a 9:30AM game than a 9PM game.

 

Hello. I was just at the Chiefs-Jets game. I will ONLY go to cold games.

 

Congrats, I think most fans would agree w/ me that is sucks sitting out there at night in Dec/January. I despise it, it's cold enough as it is in the afternoon so there's no reason to subject fans to even more extreme conditins.
