You mean that cost more than this place?

IRVING, Texas -- Break out the parkas! The 2014 Super Bowl will be held in New Jersey and it won't be indoors.
NFL owners have voted to put the championship game in the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands stadium that's about to become home to the New York Jets and Giants. It does not have a roof and it will be February.

Hell froze over the day the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl last year.
I can think of a better one..... 
The Snow Bowl!
No doubt! I think they should put all the non domed stadiums in a bowl and pick where the super bowl where be played the week before the game.
I hope an ice storm hits the entire NJ-NY area a week prior so that helicopters are used to blow snow and ice off the seats and blowtorches are used to mark the 5 yard stripes down the field.
It would be totally cool (pun fully intended) if it is -8 ambient temperature at kickoff and -34 with the howling wind chill. Thrown in snowstorms that start toward the late first quarter. Render any kicking attempt useless; force the teams to always go for it on 4th down.
DALLAS wins 2 - 0 in OT on a Ware sack of Rivers in the end zone. No one celebrates, they just trudge off the field to thaw out in the locker rooms. There they find out the pipes have burst and there is no hot water. It's a Jersey thing.
It’s not just about the game. Southern locations get people coming there to vacation, for the whole “super bowl experience.” There will be none of that in Jersey in February. None.
It will NOT be held during the day.
No outside food or drinks allowed. Hand it over, pal.
Yeah, but I had to watch that one on the TV.
Actually, I have the framed image of Vinatieri’s kick in the Snow Bowl in my den. Looking at it now.
Thirty five bucks for the poster, more than 200 bucks for the framing.
Worth every cent.
I did Army Basic Training at Ft Dix. New Jersey was freaking cold back in those days. Colder than Boston anyhow.
God I hated Baltimore earlier this year... Baltimore can’t handle snow for sh!t. I was there in between the two storms—30” had fallen, got out before the next 20” the next day—and it was a nightmare.
I had to rescue my friend whose street hadn’t been cleared four days later; we had a Marine friend’s funeral to attend. Pretty terrible week, all around. Maybe I just needed something to hate and Baltimore was handy.
I’m in the county not the city. The city is the pits.
We borrowed the idea of using concrete trucks for plowing. They really fill the need, you can pour concrete while it’s snowing or underwater, most don’t.
We actually were plowed out very well considering it was a record storm year. Main roads were plowed, local vehicles and driveways still needed personal attention of course.
Required front end loaders for parking lots and the piles were high and lasted forever.
