Most folks who go to the SB are high rollers. For better or worse they want to go to places like NYC. They don’t want to go to KC. They graciously “allowed” us to have one in Indianapolis last year only because the taxpayers coughed up an outrageous sum (700mil +) for a new NFL palace AND give all the revenue from non NFL events to the NFL team also.
I went to the Super Bowl and I’m not a high roller.
Drove 1100 miles each way and stayed in a holiday inn.
My seats were so far up, I could hardly see the horrible halftime show.
But....it was really great to get out of the cold for a few days, it was fun to walk around the city and talk to fans of both teams. Everyone I spoke with agreed that a cold weather SB is a bad idea.

True...but they are holding the 2015 Superbowl in Arizona...and I recall it was in Detroit a few years ago.
I think the NFL was just butt-hurt that the renovation didn’t put a roof on the stadium.....and they can get away with backing out at KC...but not the NY area.
