NoSaint Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 New Orleans, Minnesota, and Indy.... From what i hear, its pretty much New Orleans vs Minnesota. For New Orleans its potentially the cornerstone of their tricentennial celebrations while minnesota would be getting a perk of a new stadium. I am obviously biased, but lets go New Orleans.

New stadium or not Minn should never win it over NO. NO is the perfect site for the superbowl. In fact if the NFL was smart it should award NO the superbowl at least once every 3 years.

In fact if the NFL was smart it should award NO the superbowl at least once every 3 years. new orleans is so far 10 for 10 in their bids. this one being the tricentennial celebration cornerstone makes me think its a pretty good shot. there are plans to have the airport totally redone as well as some potential riverfront development downtown among a ton of "completed by 2018" projects ive seen tossed around. really, the only thing that i think is a worry is minnesota being able to "go all in" with their bid since its so far off prime season (i mean, february in minnesota..... really?) - so the rates for hotels, event venues etc.... can be more aggressive.

My dad's friend went to all four Bills super Bowls & said Minnesota did it the nicest. He also said it was so cold you could not even go outside but somehow they made it work. Mentioned they had a lot of underground tunnels & such to get from place to place. Still being inside all the time is noway to spend Super Bowl week.

(im a little bit clued in to these two cities on this topic, so i know its a strong presentation each will be giving) but i think theres just something special about new orleans and the ability to host big events. look for a few others to return that year potentially (ive heard rumblings of NBA allstar game being likely, and if i recall maybe a mention of wrestlemania). the city is making a big 2018 push.

For New Orleans its potentially the cornerstone of their tricentennial celebrations while minnesota would be getting a perk of a new stadium. I am obviously biased, but lets go New Orleans. It sounds like NOLA is the clear favorite. The head's up facility that they will be building was a really great idea. I share your bias but do believe that nobody does big events like New Orleans. I had so much fun last time. I am excited for the prospects of Super Bowl 52 returning.
Not at the table Karlos Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I cant stand superbowls in nola. Please go to minny
MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) The two things that will put Buffalo on the radar for a superbowl Bills get a new owner and stadium in an attactive area (watefront or Niagara) we'll be up for this sort of thing. Edited May 20, 2014 by MClem06
bisonbrigade Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 If the Bills build a fancy domed stadium in Niagara Falls does anyone think they can land a Superbowl!
ALF Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Tax payers in Minn put up a lot of money for new stadium . I would give it to them.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 New Orleans has been around since 1718? I never really thought of it, but would have pegged it a little later than that, like mid 1700's. Wow, just looked it up... I guess that about right. St. Augustine, FLA is the oldest going back to the 1500's right?
Chef Jim Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Tax payers in Minn put up a lot of money for new stadium . I would give it to them. Yeah, I'd give it to them too. Oh, you meant the SB. Never mind.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Buffalo snubbed again. The NFL hates the Bills Who says welfare is dead for these Super Bowl cities... BFLO sure can use being a welfare queen!
26CornerBlitz Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 @NFL_ATL Indianapolis eliminated. Down to Minnesota and NOLA.
NoSaint Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 @NFL_ATL Indianapolis eliminated. Down to Minnesota and NOLA. Not shocking, even before the colts had their offseason issues with Irsay (which i think managed to widen an already large gap from second place to third this year)
May Day 10 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I dunno. I think NO is a dirty, dangerous hellhole.
