Why more cold weather cities should get a chance to host the Super Bowl

Great idea, friend. Say we play the Super Bowl in Lambau Field and the New England Patriots play the New Orleans Saints. (Which is very possible.) Well, down comes the snow. Do the Saints have any experience playing in cold weather?
I have a better idea. Lets pack an indoor stadium with fans from just one team. That way, no one has to be cold and you can still give the advantage to one whichever team you'd like.
And why mess up something that's been in place for 41 years? I bet you've got Tom Landry turning over in his grave.
If you think hosting the Super Bowl is about anything but money, you're the crock. It doesn't mean the end of home field, it mean home field only runs until the Conference Championship rounds.
A cold weather team going to Arizona is in no way bizarre. It's not like the cold weather teams play sixteen games in below freezing temperature and then are thrown into Scottsdale. They play everywhere!
In conclusion, it is about money, the only writing on the wall says "don't change the Super Bowl." If you have to go to cold weather climates for the super bowl, wear a lond sleeve shirt, and a jacket, and a ran-coat, and a vest, and a parka!
