Everyone seems to be talking about Tampa loosing their bid for the 2014 Super Bowl. Tampa was in the final running to be the host for the largest sporting event in this country, but fell short to the NY/NJ area and the stadium that has been built for the Jets and the Giants. It will be the first time that a Super Bowl will be played in the elements, meaning snow and wind will become major factors that could effect a team that is not use to those conditions. Many are up in arms about the site for the game and feel that the matchup should be in a dome or in warm weather where there are no factors that could effect the outcome of the game.
For those who think its a bad idea, be real about the situation. The players in the NFL are huge, grown men, who are paid millions of dollars. If a little cold or rain effects the outcome of the game, maybe they don't deserve to win the game. Other jobs, when you fail at something, you are fired. Sports don't have that problem so if a kicker misses, they aren't filing for unemployment. Think about how many teams are not dome teams to start with and those who are not in domes are going to have to adjust to the new playing surface if they played inside one, how is that fair? Plus, it seems that Miami, Tampa, and San Diego are always the spots for the game, why night change it for once? And look, it is only one game, the world will not come to an end for those who are so against the game being played in the Meadow Lands. So it is tough break for Tampa and the surroudning area but be honest, its not like the Bucs would have a chance to even be there, except to help serve drinks!
