Hope You Like It Cold: 2014 Super Bowl To Be Played In New Jersey

The 2014 Super Bowl is being described as a New York Super Bowl but that’s not technically true. The game will be played in the home stadium of the New York Jets and New York Giants...in New Jersey.

Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, has taken issue with the idea of a New York Super Bowl....in New Jersey.

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt issued a statement to SB Nation’s Arrowhead Pride regarding his interest in a Kansas City Super Bowl.

The Chiefs are in a unique situation when it comes to cold-weather Super Bowls.

It seems nothing involved with the Super Bowl is allowed to transpire without talk of a conspiracy or a fix. A contingent of Colts fans believe Peyton Manning intentionally threw this year’s Super Bowl. Some folks think referees purposefully ignored Santonio Holmes excessive penalty the year before. Patriots fans took issue with funky clock problems in the waning minutes of Super Bowl XLII. Pretty much anything contentious linked with the Super Bowl brings out the conspiracy nut in people, that is assuming they are on the losing side.

And it doesn’t even have to be on the field. Rodney Barreto, the chairman of the South Florida Super Bowl host committee is of the opinion that the NFL fixed the selection process for the host site of Super Bowl XLVIII. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Communities across SB Nation have been focused on one big question today: What if the Super Bowl came to my city?

With the awarding of the 2014 Super Bowl to New York -- a cold-weather city -- more and more fans are asking if a Super Bowl could come to their town.

More and more teams are expressing interest in hosting a Super Bowl in light of the NFL owners awarding the 2014 game to a cold-weather city in New York.

This time around it’s the Packers who appear to be intrigued by the idea. On Monday, SB Nation’s Acme Packing Company passed along word that the Packers were indeed in favor of a cold-weather Super Bowl.

Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia have expressed interest in hosting a future Super Bowl in light of the NFL owners awarding the 2014 Super Bowl to a cold-weather city in New York/New Jersey.

Add Oakland to that list.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie released a statement regarding the announcement that Super Bowl 2014 would be played in the New York stadium. He obviously supported the vote because the Eagles are also a cold-weather city who would also like to host a Super Bowl.

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has said he would like a Super Bowl in Washington D.C. “no matter what” and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he would want a Baltimore Super Bowl as well.

SB Nation’s Jets community, Gang Green Nation, is obviously ecstatic over the announcement that their new stadium will host the 2014 Super Bowl.

For the full skinny on the process, check out Gang Green Nation. However, I think they captured the thoughts of a lot of Jets fans with this:

The NFL owners will gather in Dallas, TX on Tuesday for one day of meetings. Joining the party will be Commissioner Roger Goodell, who is expected to address the ruling in the American Needle case, among other things.

Here’s a rundown of the top items at Tuesday’s meeting:
