Touche. I'd forgotten about that. Guess karma is a bitch

Well, looks like New Orleans is never getting the Super Bowl again.

Not even close to the truth.

 

[Pugz]

Not even close to the truth.

*waits for homer posts about how great new orleans is and why they deserve 10000000 more

NOLA is amazing for the big events, I don't care about the power outage. 2012 Final Four was the best weekend of my life

 

[Teagz]

I like having the super bowl in new orleans and all, but i wish they'd tear down the superdome. Shit's a dungeon.

It'll never happen though.

 

[elcheato]

Ray Lewis is the worst, fuck that guy.

Exactly, a freak power outage doesn't hamper the fact that New Orleans is historically one of the best host cities for large sporting events, most notably the Super Bowl. All week we've heard the media and such sing the praises of the city and say how much more successful this week has been compared to previous Super Bowls. It's embarrassing and most definitely sucks, but it was a freak thing. But hey, people like Rob can be idiots and continue on with their knee jerk reactions if they so please.

 

[buzzy]

my theory is LeBron payed some dudes to unscrew some lightbulbs so he can stall the second half until he's at home.

 

[Mexi]

i could not take another SF title
phew

 

[Mexi]

if you thought the power outage was bad, wait til next year's rain and 20mph winds

 

[Hurricane Season]

Really wanted to see Randy Moss get a ring.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Third year in a row the Redskins beat the eventual super bowl winner.

:\

 

[Mexi]

next year will be controversial if the weather sucks

the main people complaining will be the ones who dont say a word about rough green bay or denver or foxborough playoff weather though lol

you cant help the fact that there was an outage, i know that. your extreme homerism is pretty annoying, nonetheless.

I'm a homer because I'm using common sense? You're just a complete idiot, and it's pretty annoying, nonetheless.

Sure, culturally New Orleans is nice, but the football game isn't played outside on Bourbon Street.
The Superdome is a pretty unimpressive stadium to say the least

 

[Hurricane Season]

All domes are shitty venues for football.

All domes are shitty venues for football.

Outdoor stadiums aren't any better in February
Imagine playing the Superbowl on that shitty winter grass. Fun.

Retractable roof stadiums>

There wasn't a single NFL function held on Bourbon all week so I'm not sure your point really makes any sense. Heck I spent a day and a half in New Orleans over the weekend and I didn't hear a single person even mention Bourbon. Just the other places like St. Charles Street, Morial Convention Center, Jackson Square, Woldenberg Park, and so on.

And have you ever been in the dome? I'm going to go ahead and guess no, I'd probably bet you've never been to New Orleans. And by the chance you have I'm going to bet it wasn't this season. I'll agree the stadium used to be one of the least attractive stadiums in the NFL, but the upgrades it has undergone to host this Super Bowl over the past few years have made it quite nice.
