Yeah, I don't think the fans will enjoy the cold weather for a Superbowl. When we had last year's up here in Detroit, the city went all out for it, but even though the television viewership was a record supposedly, the city basically came out even. To get ready for the SB, the city even created a Winterfest for downtown Detroit a few years before the SB that was a quasi hit with local residents, but folks from Seattle and even Pitt didn't want to spend their SB vacation freezing their collective asses off. Even thoug the DC metro area is a lot more nicer than the Detroit metro area, being originally from Lanham, the DC area road system virtually is at a crawl even if there is a snowstorm with small accumulations. If Fedex was a dome then DC would be a great SB spot, providing no snowstorm came about during the weekend.
