Remember shortly after September 11, 2001 how then Commish Paul Tagliabue pledged the NFL would have a Super Bowl in either New York or Washington by at least 2006?  Well it's a good thing they didn't hold up their end of the bargain, otherwise they may have played a game in awful conditions, with a potential for a downpour of rain for the entire game, you know like they just did in sunny Miami. 

Sure it was sloppy at times but the other half of that was just Rex Grossman being Rex Grossman.  I can assure you that many Northerners got a kick out of seeing the Super Bowl played in these conditions in a warm weather venue.

Which begs the question, why can't the NFL play its Super Bowl in a Northern city say once every five years or so in a rotation?  If they could play a game in this stuff, certainly they could play a championship game in as bad or worse conditions.  They play AFC and NFC championship games in the cold, the majority of the season in the cold so why not the Super Bowl?  Or why not have the Super Bowl at the site of the team with the best record or alternate like baseball used to do by league every year? 

This is afterall the league that had one of its most famous NFL Championship games called "The Ice Bowl" at Lambeau Field between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, so am I missing something here or what?
