Cold weather Super Bowls on the way

JoeRedskin · 05-26-2010, 08:19 AM

I too have hated the "Dome Rule" - How many of the truly great games in NFL history have had weather be a component? It's 40 years later and we still talk about the Ice Bowl. Anyone remember the classic playoff game between Cinci and S.D. in the 80's (I think) - brutal! and yet a terrific game for fans.

The problem of course is that the SB is such a HUGE event, bad weather would do more than just affect the game. I think the only reason this happened is b/c it's NY and, quite frankly, when it comes right down to it, there are just different rules for NY (Remember the Saints "Home" game in NY after Katrina- pffff!).
