Guys, with global warming, by the time 2014 rolls around, it will be 80 degrees at the worst in febuary.
I believe it's now called 'Global Climate Change'. A much more politically vague name to avoid the stuffed suits being made to look like idiots. As if that was possible.
Outdoors in cold weather, but the NFL season was not supposed to push into mid-February. Superbowls used used to be in mid-January. Anyway, they would not have been encouraged to bid and have the bid accepted if they weren't getting it. Get ready for it. Maybe the NFL will force the 2014 upper deck Superbowl ticket holders to park behind the manure sheds at the track.

They didn't have a winner on the first ballot, they're going to the second round of votes. The team with the least amount of votes (not specified) has been eliminated from voting. Edit: Miami was the city eliminated from voting.
The fact that they are still in the voting is lock enough. Edit: 4th vote - it's going to be a majority vote, neither team is getting 75%.
If the team with the least votes of the 3 is eliminated after round 2 why isn't the simple majority then in effect for round 3, rather than doing the whole thing again in round 4 for the simple majority? Beauracracy. Gotta love it.
