RE: Super Bowl Snow ?
I, for one, hope it happens.
Whether it's good or bad, it'll certainly keep all the pro-snow and OMG-an-outdoor-Super-Bowl-?!? pundits employed.
Might as well get to enjoy the media freakout, at least.

The bigger issue is how much the potential storm could screw up travel plans.
Putting the Championship Game in any sport in conditions that negatively impact performance is dumb. There are lots of Domes and warm weather locations for this game. What's next, Buffalo?

I hope it's a driving storm.
It's football for crying out loud.
In a sport that will only stop play for lightning, all the elements should be at least possible.

They also stop play for power outages. Football in a dome? Pfft.

Watching the international bowl and LCPB indoors was kind-a-nice.

RE: Super Bowl Snow ?
I like the occasional outdoor winter weather football game. Obviously, a blizzard isn't any fun, but before the game, putting tons of snow on the field, then a light snow during? That'd be perfect. I imagine the 2nd half of the Eagles/Lions game this year, not the first half

Neither team are dome heads, Broncos have played in some colder games outdoors at home, but the advantage is nil in my mind. For some reason I was falling back and thinking Seahawks were still domeheads.
