“Why not just go to Green Bay and be done with it?”
Isn’t that how championship games were played pre-Super Bowl? I would be all in favor of the big game being played on the home field of one of the finalist teams. At least one of the teams’ year-round fans could actually see their guys play in the championship game instead of its being restricted to those who can afford the travel and inflated SB tickets.
Actually, as I wrote that, I came to think the whole SB ‘thing,’ if reduced to one word, would be “inflated.”
Yes, but before the Super Bowl the season, including the championship, would be over before the New Year. In 1973 the Super Bowl was played on January 14th.
