I first heard the story on our local ESPN radio affiliate this past week and I could not believe that there is a possibility of the Super Bowl in London. But...
From CBS Sports: The members of the Super Bowl committee lately have been content to award hosting duties in cities in the northern part of the U.S. For instance, Indianapolis here and New Jersey in 2014. But what about an international Super Bowl?
Apparently, that’s been something the committee has discussed.
“There’s a little bit of change in philosophy,” Irsay said Monday. “We have the 50-year anniversary coming up, which we’re looking at. There are some members of our committee who have been thinking about having an international Super Bowl in London. That obviously has some real pluses and minuses if you weren’t going to have it on America soil. Right now, we’re in a wait-and-see approach.”
Los Angeles also has drawn some interest from the Super Bowl committee, assuming the Farmer Field project is completed at some point. But London? It seems … well … not very fan-friendly and, probably more importantly, not very corporate-friendly.http://nfl-facts-and-rumors.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/34629231
London? Seriously, especially for the 50 year anniversary of the Super Bowl?
If anything,they should hold the 50 year anniversary in Green Bay, the team that won the first Super Bowl, but there is not enough hotel rooms in the City and surrounding areas.
But London? The home of the Silly Nannies?
Like Peter says -"Oh Crap"!
