The NFL just awarded the 2014 Superbowl to New Jersey.
New Jersey? Well, they've got a brand new $1.6 billion dollar stadium to show off. The NFL waived the cold weather rules and hopes are that this might make the Superbowl a semi-regular visitor to the northern regions.
Of course, the new stadium seats 82,500 or more fans, meaning there is absolutely no chance of tiny little 67,000 seat Soldier Field ever being chosen to host the title game. We seem to recall a big push for a domed stadium here in town and the old stadium having at least 75,000 seats (you really old timers might recall the original configuration sat 120,000).
That's some real forward thinking by our city planners.
