Speaking of Superbowls, here is a question probably better suited for an opinion poll. Which is more likely to happen in your opinion, the Bills winning a Superbowl, or a Superbowl being hosted in Buffalo? both would be great, I must admit, but... lol

No doubt that Buffalo is a football problem with a drinking town

Buffalo hosting a Super Bowl would be a disaster, at least the way the city is now. Some very smart people would have to find a way to create interesting, fun attractions in a place where few exist. And most of it would have to be indoors. Tom Brady already pointed out how much our hotels suck for the hoity-toity crowd.

The only place I could even imagine being a SB host would be Niagara Falls, Canada. At least there's stuff happening there.

I think it is a television ratings thing and not a hosting the Super Bowl.

Eh, look how well Jacksonville did on that list.

We all know how well they do in actually selling tickets.

I don't think there's any correlation to draw from here.

There is literally ZERO chance a super bowl is played at RWS. That chance is only slightly increased if some way a new stadium was built and that would still be a miniscule chance.

Miniscule chance if it's open, pretty good chance if it's a dome. There is no way the NFL will ever have a SB in a cold weather city that has an open air stadium. It'll always be in good weather or a dome.

Well in general NYC/NJ is decent weather in February besides being cold but they are taking a chance with that location....
