In 44 Super Bowls, there has never been snow. In fact, the coldest temperature during a game was 39 degrees, which came in 1972 at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans.
That could all change in February, 2014, as the league announced on Tuesday that its 32 owners awarded Super Bowl XLVIII to the New York/New Jersey region.
The contest will be held at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. — the first time the big game has been held in an open-air stadium in a cold-weather region.
“I’m good with that,” John Lynch said earlier this month. “I’ve always felt like you play football outdoors all the way through the end of the year, so the big game shouldn’t be any different. I think the weather is part of the game.”
President and CEO Pat Bowlen told The Star-Ledger, a New Jersey newspaper, that he was in favor of New York hosting the Super Bowl.
“I don’t expect we’ll have it there every third or fourth year, but I think one up in New York would be great,” he said.
Head Coach Josh McDaniels agreed with Bowlen and Lynch, mentioning a scenario where he certainly wouldn’t mind about a little bit of snow.
“Hey, if we’re in the Super Bowl, nobody is going to be complaining about what the weather is like or what the temperature is,” he said.
Before it gets to the Meadowlands, the Super Bowl will be held in Dallas (2011), Indianapolis (2012) and New Orleans (2013).
After that, Lynch has another idea.
“Let’s see one here in Denver.”

sndvl..I’ve never seen Jarmarcus and talent mentioned in the same sentence,in a LONG time.
No BFE I have heard Jarmarcus and talented QB in the same sentence alot. But Jarmarcus and win, don’t hear that.
BA…I watched Jamarcus play at LSU,and he was VERY talented,but seems like when he stepped it up to another level he choked,but a lot of QB’s would under Al Davis tho.
I just think Orton gives us the BEST chance THIS season. Apparently, Im not alone.
Well, gents, movie night.
SIGN DOOM
He is known as one of the biggest busts of all time,and the only way he can fix that is to get another chance with a different team to prove himself,it will be very hard for the kid to do.IMO
I do think a QB in oakland is like a qb in cleveland. Terrible no matter what. But it didn’t help Jamarcus was lazy, could he be better somewhere else? Maybe, sort of like Brady Quinn?
It’s every man for himself I guess…Tebow and Quinn in 2010!!!I’m out too,later Bronco Buddys.
Laters catch you guys around.
I think that Tebow should start at some point this year, if Orton and Quinn can’t get it done.
sndvl- I don’t mean to start something, but why do you hate McD? I know he made some pretty drastic moves these past two years, but he has gotten replacements for them. If you think Shannahan was doing good, he was, but only on offense. Our defense sucked when he was coach the last few years (no offense to Shanny. Great coach). McD brings the defense to the team that we need, and we focused on revamping the offense this offseason. We have the pieces to be really good.
I like this blog! sndvl I understand how you can see stokes being let go (I dont think him and Mcd have very good chemistry) but IMO Royal wont get traded any time soon, I feel like Mcd has plans for him. Mcd was able to work with one of the best slot receivers of all time in wes welker and in my eyes Royal is going to play a big role as the slot receiver, I mean he is small and fast which = deadly! I like Denvers chances this year!
And this rugby guy, is Denver really looking at him or is that more of just something to talk about?
Haha Yovi I think it is just speculation, there have been some reports but I believe Inglis isn’t too interested at the moment.
And DR92, not everybody likes McD, I for one am not a fan of him as a person, but I am a fan of him as a coach. Not everybody likes everybody there are just some people that get under your skin and sndvl just doesn’t like McD. But I ain’t sndvl so I can’t answer for him.
Finally a ‘little’ bit of respect:

WOW…more people jumping on the Bronco pulled bandwagon:

stedtfeld might be a little too anxious picking us 11-5,but hey I’d rather see people lifting us up,instead of dogging us to death,gotta go figured I’d give my Bronco Buddies something to read while drinkin’ their java this morning,later Broncos Country,and I’m gone.

Man, I’ve been feeling really under the weather lately so I haven’t been on here too much. Seeing a lot of new bloggers, which is really nice to see.
I must say it seems like this offseason the “haters” haven’t been bashing us like last season. I’m not referring to anyone on this site, but on EPSN, NFL, SI etc. those writers seem to be less harsh on our offseason moves (mainly the Marshall trade). While I do sometimes question McD’s moves, I do think that we’ll have a quality football team this season. The one area I’m still a bit concerned with is the offensive line. Hopefully we’ll have some “young uglies” step up. I just think that we’ll have a good season, much better than last year. I’m always excited for Broncos football, but it seems this year I’m even more excited. I don’t know why either, I don’t if it is because of our defense additions, or draft additions, or our FA additions, or what. I just feel so happy and excited to see what the Broncos could do. I guess the right word would axious. I’m sill wondering how our QQ will turn out.
Go Broncos!!!!
The QQ is like the oil spill, no progress to report after 38 days, LOL. Funny for our QQ, not so for the spill…
BFE, thanks for bringing forward the optimism in your links, but just like I said the other day, these are all articles written by Bronco fans, so they have very little objectivity, I would much rather read something by a national sports writer who shows some optimism for us, so far they are not many other than Lombardi, if you come across something along that line please post it, thanks.
I heard the most amazing thing last night, I just can`t believe it. I heard Jamie Pukes say on the NFL Network that he thinks that the Knowshon Moreno is gonna be the most improved player this coming year. WOW! Sign Doom!
Since what Jamie says is usually a load of crap, I’m a bit worried here, LOL.
We`ll have to see how are O-line turns out. Hopefully the line gets healed up and they open some nice holes, especially on short yardage.
Tebone climbing the ladder already:promoted to 3rd string,WOW what a shocker.LOL

This is ridiculous. They have the Panthers, Seahawks, Titans, Chiefs, Texans, and Jets all above us.
I would rate the jets above us. But not those other teams.
It’s great to be the underdogs,that way we can sneak in a few wins at the beginning of the season,until the NFL realizes that we are foe REAL!!!!!!!!!
Last season nobody picked us to do anything either,then we reeled off 6 in a row,until the wheels fell off,a lot of people will jump back on the bandwagon when we show them were not celler dwellers!!!!!!!!!!!
I always like rootin’ for the underdog anyway,seems like we are always picked to lose,that’s what makes it so SWEEEEEEEET when we win.
They all can eat crow,or shi*,whichever they prefer.LOL
BFE
I think denver will finish between 8-8 and 11-5 this season assuming orton starts and moreno kicks it in high gear! haha Denver will do fine the only big question mark for the season will be can winks D be highly ranked in the league! that is the biggest concern for me, we can be a great team as long as our D doesnt look like 2008! I hope our talent can overcome and we can shock the football world!
GO BRONCOS!!!
