The NFL today will vote to hold the 2010 Super Bowl at the new Jets Stadium to be built on the West Side contingent on completion in 2009.
Yet another reason to get it done.

Don't count on it--the politics in NY are horrible. I get the NYC local TV feeds on my DishTV and it makes me vomit to watch all these special interest groups fight this thing on the local news.
There was one councilman saying we don't need a Domed FB stadium--Football in December is the way it was mean to be played, indoors is for sissies. The guy looked like he was 5'8" and 145 lbs.

TexMark: living in NYC I can tell you we need other things before a new stadium. The subway system is in horrible condition, the bridges and tunnels need lots of maintenace. We are aiming for the Olympics (don't think we have much chance) and talk of spending nealry 2 billion for a stadium when the infrastructure of this town is literally falling apart.
Example: Wednesday the entire subway system on the East Side went down due to signal failure for just about the entire day. Reason, water and trash in the tunnels. The stations are filthy etc.. but you get the message.
I'm a big time sports fan and would like to have the best in the city, but I can't see how we can justify spending money on that when the argument is we don't have it for the basics. The fares have been raised, will be raised again, but how much can you ask from the people that must ride the system?
Granted, having a stadium and hosting the Super Bowl would bring in money, but not enough needed to address our many problems. (haven't even talked about need for additional firemen and policement which the city says they cannot afford etc.)

This may come as a shock to you but building the stadium is a must if New York is to land the Olympics. Plus we need a major bowl game in NYC for the Big East to host.

But not all of that money is government money--in fact most of it won't be city money but Jets, private, and state money.
The city needs alot of money for infrastructure however, politicians and union rules makes the city a horrible place to do business but I digress...........

...is the proposed Jets Stadium going to have a roof? The NFL does have a rule stating a minimum typical temperature in January to have the Super Bowl at an outdoor venue...which is why the only outdoor hosts are southern cities.

Yes it is planned to be a retractable roof. BTW, it would be built on top of an existing rail yard.
I've included a link of the proposed stadium

Hey guys,
I've got a question regarding the new stadium...I'm pretty uninformed on the topic so bear w/ me if this is common knowledge...
Is a NY college bowl game (I think I've heard Big Apple bowl?) being officially discussed as definite/ likely/ possible if the new stadium comes through, or is that merely rumor/ speculation?
I hope it's the case that it's true, just asking ...thanks!

To try to have the super bowl in NY was a pretty smart move by the NFL....that is a huge carrot to offer the state of NY/Jets to get the staduim done

This may come as a shock to you, but New York has about as much of a chance to hold the Olympics as a snowball in hell. The Olympics will be in Paris.
