I orginally thought that Hawaii should get it every year, but they already get the pro bowl, and their stadium is too small. I'd still go for this, but they need to renovate the stadium.

The NFL would never do that as it would eliminate the fact that cities bid millions of dollars to get the Super Bowl. Paying to build a stadium as well as loosing the bid money would hurt the league financially.

No it wouldn't, cause the LEAGUE would own the stadium, so every super bowl would bring in BIG bucks. I get that cities bid millions, and that is a good answer as to why not, but I would wager that the NFL would gain more money if they owned the stadium.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the revenue the NFL would get from other teams playing in their stadium throughout the year. (whether it be college, high school or whatever)
