msw2112 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 As awesome as it would be, I don't think Buffalo would get a SB, even if they built a dome. I don't think the area has enough hotel space, a large enough airport, etc. to accommodate a Super Bowl, not to mention the weather about town (regardless of the stadium) in February for other activities. Yes, Minneapolis has pulled it off, but that city is much larger, more cosmopolitan, more hotel space, a major hub airport, etc. While Minneapolis is colder than Buffalo, it isn't as susceptible to huge lake effect snow storms. And I'm a big a Buffalo supporter as any. So Buffalo isn't building a dome to attract a Super Bowl. Nashville probably can attract one. There may be other reasons to build a dome in Buffalo, but I am not jumping into that debate. Just commenting on the Super Bowl part. But hey, just because they can't bring the Super Bowl to Buffalo, there's nothing stopping the Bills from bringing Buffalo to the Super Bowl! 1 7 2 Quote
