LOWELL, Mass. (AP) -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the success of the 2014 Super Bowl slated for Meadowlands Stadium will determine whether more championships are played at undomed cold-weather sites.

Goodell spoke at commencement ceremonies Saturday for the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he accepted an honorary doctorate for his father, the late Sen. Charles E. Goodell of New York.

The commissioner was introduced by Robert Kraft and stood with the New England owner after the ceremony. The Patriots play outside at Gillette Stadium.

On Tuesday, the league awarded the 2014 championship to the new $1.6 billion home of the Jets and Giants.

Kraft, who supported the decision, said "the elements should be part of the game."

2. Green Bay in February!

:rofl:

After they realize how much money is lost by picking a northern venue, they will never have it up north again.

7. Well The Trophy Is Named After Green Bay's Coach,

and the Green Bay Packers won the first Superbowls, and Lambeau in February might be wonderful! where's your sense of tradition and adventure? Yes, it's a small town venue, but who cares?

9. Green Bay could not conceivably, possibly host the Super Bowl.

As much as my traditionalist self would like to see that, hosting the SB in a city of 100,000 would make the Jacksonville debacle look like a tempest in a teapot. :scared:

4. Heh. Why not Fairbanks, Alaska. The History Channel could broadcast it and

have the Ice Truckers bring everyone and everything to the game.

Sounds like a wonderful venue for an outdoor game!!
