In New Jersey? In the dead of winter?
"We'll all pray that it doesn't snow that day," Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said.
NFL owners voted Tuesday to put the 2014 Super Bowl in the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands Stadium that this season will become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It's the first time the league has gone to a cold weather site that doesn't have a dome; until now, those places couldn't even bid on the big game.
So, why the risk?
"Let's face it," Giants co-owner John Mara said, "there's only one New York City."
"We promise the greatest game in the greatest venue in the greatest city," added another co-owner, Steve Tisch. "Now we've got to deliver."
Mother Nature may have a lot to say about that.
