One of the bigger Super Bowl stories is the cold and snowy weather in Texas. It's out of the ordinary and has greatly impacted some of the pre-game festivities. Although the game is being played inside, numerous fans will be unable to get connecting flights to the game in time.
Dallas does not meet the criteria of a warm weather climate, but the NFL gave the site to Dallas in order to appease Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his new stadium.
The league is seeing first-hand how cold weather can impact it marque game. Next year, the game is being played indoors at Indianapolis, but the real test comes in 2014 when the game is played outdoors at the Meadowlands.
Based on this winter, playing the game in New York City might not be the best idea. Pats owner Robert Kraft indicated that he would be in favor of trying to get the game at Foxborough. That might be a worse idea.
Let's hope that the league sticks to the warm weather locations after 2014. The stakes are too high this time of year to have the game effected by the weather.
