Are you ready for a Super Tuesday? The NFL is. As a matter of fact, the league is preparing for just about anything when it comes to Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, where weather could change just about everything about the game, including the day and time.

A TV industry source told the Daily News that the league has discussed the possibility of changing the day of the game if severe weather were to be forecast to hit the New York/New Jersey area on Super Bowl Sunday. According to the source, these contingency plans gained life when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asked what would happen if weather caused mass complications on the day of the game.

That source said that while delaying the game is a possibility, playing it the Saturday before isn’t going to happen, although it was considered at the meeting. “You can’t move the game ahead a day (Saturday). It would be a logistical nightmare and the commissioner knows that. The game can be moved into the next week. That can be done,” the source said. “It would be like knowing on the day of a World Series game there would be heavy rain at 8 (p.m.) then trying to start it at 4 (p.m.). You couldn’t do it.”

These games shouldn't be in cold weather anyway. Smh. Dude is the worst commissioner.

You thinking short sighted if the Superbowl gets delayed that'll simply add a twist a controversy to it, and cause more people to watch just like this years.............




It's business

why not? there are a lot of northern/midwest teams that play regular games in the cold/snow.

It's the Superbowl and treat it like an accomplishment/vacation. I heard the Detroit Superbowl was horrible and players didn't like it because there was nothing to do and cold. It be cold as hell sometimes especially at night here in the East Coast nobody got time for that.
