The New Meadowlands Stadium in New York was awarded the first cold-weather Super Bowl on Tuesday, when the owners of the National Football League gave in to the allure of the largest possible stage for the 2014 event.
The new $1.6 billion stadium was rewarded with the game, much as new venues in Detroit, Dallas and Indianapolis. The New York/New Jersey bid beat out proposals from warm climate areas, Tampa and South Florida, which both have hosted the biggest game in U.S. sports on multiple occasions.
The New Meadowlands, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey will open with the kickoff of the 2010 NFL season and will play host to both the New York Jets and New York Giants, replacing Giants Stadium.
The move is also seen as a ploy by the NFL to appeal to an international audience, as 36 percent of the 20 million residents of the region were born outside of the U.S., which outweighed the concerns by some of the voters that snow could cause a chaotic situation that may mare the outcome of the year’s most anticipated contest.
The bid by New York started to become a reality in December when owners abolished a rule that required that outdoor Super Bowls to be contested in cities that have an average February temperature of at least 50 degrees.
Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL, stated during the most recent Super Bowl in South Florida that he sees the idea of a New York event as attractive. Goodell has a history of being a forward thinking leader, and has even been rumored to be planning an attempt to take the Super Bowl to London.
The New York Super Bowl will be the most expensive in history to stage, as the host committee must raise $40 million for the event.
The Giants and Jets will not receive any monetary gain directly from the event, but the Super Bowl will undoubtedly increase the cost of the naming rights for the venue.
