The Meadowlands have won a huge and in fact monumental victory today in securing the 2014 superbowl at the new New York Jets and Giants stadium complex in Northern New Jersey.
The owners of the NFL teams voted on 5/25/2010 on the $1.6 billion dollar complex as a suitable place to host the game which is monumental because it is the first time that a Super Bowl is going to be held in a cold weather city that is not enclosed (think dome).
With lots of rain, snow, heavy winds and average temperatures in the 30's many will be glad to be warm when watching the early February game in the tri-state area.
The comparisons to the 1967 Ice Bowl with Bart Starr are already coming up and the "Make Some History" slogan is already coming out with negative connotations not intended by the stadiums owners.
The overall economic impact for the area will likely exceed 550 million dollars and will be held on either February 2, 9 or 16th and will likely be a chilly night that many will never forget and thus will lead the way back to the 70 degree rule and for good reason.
Stay warm I'll See you in Dallas, Miami,Tampa,Jacksonville, Phoenix, or anywhere in California but New York in the dead of the winter? I don't think so.
