Yeah but your stadium resides in Arlington? Kind of defeats the purpose of calling your team the "Dallas" Cowboys.
dallas will not get the summer, olympics.........their police department couldn't keep President Kennedy safe.
Wow...do you know anything about the superbowl or the nfl? It's not just a game, it's a huge event that attracts thousands of people into the city. People want to enjoy themselves, not freeze their balls off. There is not enough time to set up everything in a city for the super bowl in under 2 weeks. They have to designate a host city before the season. The host committee start planing a year in advance.
1. I don't see them doing repeat performances in Dallas...because it's essentially an open-air stadium in late-January, early-February in Dallas. 2. Dallas never had anything remotely close to a legit olympic bid. The facilities are far too spread out, and they're still lacking key ones. The strength of the Houston bid is the proximity from stadium to stadium. And the fact the bigger ones are all connected by rail.
I know people who have been to many super bowls and most of them did not like Houston as a venue - too much traffic, and lacking the excitement of Miami/LA or pre-storm New Orleans. You should never hold the super bowl in a place where people wouldn't go on vacation. Sorry Houston, Jacksonville, Dallas, Detroit etc - but you don't make the cut.
probably true. but out of all of the non-prime locations I think Houston would be the best. I came down there that weekend and was impressed by it. The weather definitely didn't help
I don't see why EVERY effin' city can't have the Super Bowl. That's just unfair. I am down for seeing the players freeze their *ss off in January in ANY city up north, or die sweatin' their ass off in any city down south. They should rotate to EVERY city, and the last expansion team should get it FIRST.
JFK conspiracy theories in a thread about possible Super Bowl locations. THAT is why I love this board so much!
Try 7 years in advance. I recall Houston putting up there bid for another Superbowl a couple years ago. The committee went somewhere else and their excuse was "Houston just had the Superbowl." The next year we put up our bid, and the committee went with Miami, even though they're already hosting it in 2009. What a bunch of bullsh!tters. Screw them. H-Town won't be hosting until the next Stadium gets built. Probably in 2020. (By then, Reliant will be archaic and inappropriate.)
Huh? How is a retractable dome "essentially an open-air stadium"? It's no more an open-air stadium then what you have down there...
A superbowl in Mexico City, would be great, in Azteca Stadium, with more than 100,000 seats, it definitely will be a sellout, j/k But its a better choice than Europe!
I was actually proud that we got a SuperBowl after a long hiatus. I mean, just think about it, can you believe the NFL once had a SB at Rice stadium? I can't even knock McNair for only getting 1 SB guaranteed for Houston as part of the 750 million franchise fee agreement, but for that much, he should have received a guarantee to have Reliant in the SB rotation. But now that Dallas will have a state of the art, retractable roof, with a seating capacity of 100,000 specifically for the SB, McNair can't compete with that. It is what it is.
