In a city where there's land below sea level, the air is thick and stomachs are filled with gumbo and catfish, it's not easy finding minds open to a Super Bowl played at a mile high, where the air is thin and the temperature chills moisture into snow.

A Super Bowl played outdoors in Denver during the first week of February?

"I think it's retarded," Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said this week. "I probably shouldn't say that. I think it's stupid. If you want a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium."

Flacco? More like Faggo.



Faulk had some good points.



If Denver hosts a Super Bowl, what money goes where? I know "tourism" alone would bring the city money. How much of what does the organization get?

I am not sure if the organization gets anything - maybe if they are one of the teams playing, they get something. I don't know. Last night on ESPN, it was stated that the city of New Orleans would make a figure in the billions (can't remember exactly what the figure was), for this year's SB.

Who owns the stadium exactly?

New York is a mecca.

But the Meadowlands? Phaugh! as Dread would say.

Every year a cold weather city or two will put in their bid and the SB will continue to go to warm weather cities, fields with domes, and occasionally NYC.
