Jets, Giants want another New York/New Jersey Super Bowl

[gmf1369]

The Jets and Giants are eager to host another Super Bowl.

Jets owner Woody Johnson said today at the league meeting that the two New York teams want to bring the game back to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which allows for media events in the media capital of the world.

“We are as serious as you can get,” Johnson said, via Newsday.

Not everyone likes the idea of a cold-weather city with an outdoor stadium getting a Super Bowl, and Johnson acknowledged that “we lucked out” two years ago, when Super Bowl Sunday was unseasonably warm. But Johnson said the venue is good enough to be worth the risk of a blizzard.

It will be a while before the New York area gets a Super Bowl. The next two Super Bowls have already been awarded to Houston and Minnesota, and cities including Atlanta, Miami, Indianapolis and New Orleans are all considered ahead of New York in the rotation. The new Los Angeles stadium is also certain to host a Super Bowl, likely in 2021.

But eventually, another Super Bowl is likely to be played at MetLife Stadium. Perhaps in the snow.

We have the worst billion dollar stadium. The nfl suites must be impressive if the owners think it's so great.

i agree completely. It's aesthetically unappealing. I get the neutral look they were looking for but like others have mentioned on this board, MetLife looks like a giant air conditioner.

I disagree, I prefer it to stay open air. It's just ugly, had zero advantage over any other stadium, the escalators to get in are like hearding cattle for slaughter. The traffic to leave takes an hour just to get on the turnpike. I live 25 minutes away and it takes 3 hours, no joke.

The idea is that the jets and giants are both committed to playing hard nosed defensive football with a running based offense. That style has an advantage in bad weather.
I'm old school, I like it.
I enjoy seeing the sky and breathing fresh air at a game.

Ok lets cut that guy Namath...Maynard too. I guess a lid means you can't play tough or throw a pass.


Look I agree I like it outside n most days but the lid gives you an option. I wonder why the expensive seats are heated & air-conditioned?

We could have more Super Bowls with a dome, more concerts, more beer without water in your glass.

Listen, I think it's a personal preference. Go ahead love domes, I love open air.
And there's nothing wrong with that.

I agree with that in my case I love old school dome football when you play in the playoffs.....the way it was. But I agree

Honestly does it matter? Do you know how many home games we have played in the playoffs in 50 years?

I hope that changes, but it's like complaining about a hockey rink in Jamaica.
