NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the success of the 2014 Super Bowl slated for Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey will determine whether more championships are played at undomed cold-weather sites.
Fans in Cleveland Browns Stadium will confirm that Cleveland could qualify to host the Super Bowl as a cold-weather city.
No Cleveland Browns fan has to be reminded that in the 44-year history of the Super Bowl, the Browns have never been there. Maybe some players, coaches or executives were given or bought tickets, but no, the team has never suited up to play in the game.
Who knows if Cleveland will ever be a part of the sport's signature game? How about if you can't play in it, at least own it once?
Another thing that every Browns fan knows is that Cleveland, indeed, is a cold-weather city.
From the Associated Press:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the success of the 2014 Super Bowl slated for Meadowlands Stadium will determine whether more championships are played at undomed cold-weather sites.
Goodell spoke at commencement ceremonies Saturday for the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he accepted an honorary doctorate for his father, the late Sen. Charles E. Goodell of New York.
The commissioner was introduced by Robert Kraft and stood with the New England owner after the ceremony. The Patriots play outside at Gillette Stadium.
On Tuesday, the league awarded the 2014 championship to the new $1.6 billion home of the Jets and Giants.
Kraft, who supported the decision, said "the elements should be part of the game."
We ask if you would like Cleveland to pursue being a Super Bowl site, and if you think there is any chance the city could be awarded a game.
