Super Bowl 50 Awarded to San Francisco/Santa Clara

I guess Houston gets 51

And because the NFL wanted to make sure that Miami was punished, they decided to not give it to Miami - the best city to hold a Super Bowl in winter!! Just saying

On average 4 1/2 inches of rain


That should make a great Super Bowl.

Remember when it rained in Miami?? At least it was warm and the rain was refreshing!!

Cold Foggy and Rainy - great combo for a Super Bowl.

Miami made it's bed, now they have to lay in it. Not a hard choice for the NFL...an old dump in Miami, or the new state of the art Levis Stadium in Santa Clara..Congratulations to the 49ers and the entire Bay Area!

The stadium is still in great shape. We just had a renovation 6 years ago.

The problem is that they want more for the stadium

The thugs that run the NFL have decided that having a great location is not good enough. They just want more money from the Miami Taxpayers for their little party that really only benefits them!!

perhaps you feel the NFL should move the big game there permanently to make you happy. Renovations that are six years old...might as well be light years when you put it up against brand new Levis Stadium. There's a new sheriff in town..

Got some tax free advice for you too. If you don't approve of the way the NFL does business, don't watch it....

You dont know what the fuck you are talking about.

Dolphin stadium... which by the way is private funded, is an awesome stadium.

How do I know? Been there for many games. You on the other hand have never been there.

The NFL tried to strong arm the citizens of Florida into bankrolling a billionaires upgrades and we told them to fuck off.

The shit that comes from you is legendary.

I'm glad you like the old stadium...you can sit there on February 7, 2016 all by yourself and view the Super Bowl..think of it, it will be just like a Marlin's game..

That reminds me. I've got your great leader right here.. do you genuflect?



Btw, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara are two different cities, separated by maybe 30-35 miles.

The real winners will be limousine companies, expensive hotels, scalpers, and perhaps a few brothels.
