The owners have voted and on the first ballot the San Francisco 49ers and
the Bay Area were awarded the right to host Super Bowl L in 2016 at Levi's
Stadium.

The 49ers would be winners of SB 47 if they were allowed to compete
fairly. On the opening kick return of the second half two Ravens
players picked up Brent Miller and carried him 15 yards off his feet,
he was the closest 49er to the return man and it caused the Raven
player to score a touchdown. In the sequence where the 49ers were at
the Ravens five yard line ready to score the go ahead touchdown, the
cheating refs allowed the Ravens players to hold, and mug 49ers
receivers play after play, including bear hugs with two arms. During
the Ravens safety afterwards, there were blatant tackling of 49ers
defenders by Ravens offensive linemen that is illegal. On the last
punt return Joe Flaco was caught on camera urging his players to
cheat, he went to player after player urging him to come off the
sideline and tackle the punt returner, that is illegal, and Flaco said
he would do this cheating too. Simply put NFL games are rigged by
corrupt refs, and cheating players. In Europe their major profession
soccer league have declared 680 of their games have been rigged, this
is what their league now proclaims. NFL games are fixed too. The 49ers
were not allowed to compete fairly.

Sweet indeed, that means you as a season ticket holder will have a
shot at getting Super Bowl tickets.

I know, two with a perfect view. If they got the tickets, I got the
time. :)

Wasn't it a foregone conclusion that they'd get at least one SB to help
finance the stadium?

Now, hopefully the weather is good that day or else the VIP types will
complain, like they did at Stanford stadium, after which the Bay Area
didn't sniff the SB for a couple of decades.

Easy there Mr. Negative, it's a new stadium and fog (you know, the
real problem with that game) hasn't been a problem in Santa Clara.

You're comparing old Stanford stadium with a brand new, high tech
Niner stadium? Really?

If it rains, which has been known to happen in early February, it'll
hurt chances of getting on the regular SB rotation.

The owners and the VIP types who go to those games will want New Orleans
or Miami, to escape the cold winters.

The weather was fine that day in 1985. It was overcast but mild.

What the VIPs hated were the splinters sticking up their butts due to the
dilapidated wooden bleachers that Stanford Stadium had. In addition to
having most of the food served from Coleman coolers (which the vast majority
of Stanford Stadium concession stands used at that time to store their "hot"
foods like burgers and hot dogs.

It won't hurt a thing, Mr. Negative. Old Stanford stadium is a
distant memory, as is the stadium itself. The new, high tech stadium
will be in the rotation, despite your negative attitude. You see,
they don't base the rotation of the stadiums based on your attitude.

I doubt the possibility of rain will hurt the chances.

Not the possibility. Actual rain during Superbowl 50 will sour the
league on future Superbowls here.

Otherwise, they will have to add Dallas and New York in the rotation as
well. Because if they accept less than perfect weather that they've
gotten in the traditional venues, then how can they say no to all the
other big new stadium owners?

And to tell you the truth, I don't want even rain (or wind) in the
Superbowl to decide games. Let teams play under the optimal conditions,
so that they have a chance to play at their best.

The old tapes of NFL Championship games in Green Bay and Chicago is a
big part of the lore of the NFL but it didn't make for great football.

Turns out that a friend from highschool has four seats nearby and he
happens to own a winery. Now all we need is somebody with seats and a
high class restaurant, lol.

Will it, Karnack? I'm glad you can see so far into the future. Why,
you should go to Vegas and lay some money the awarding of the Super
Bowls and the outcomes of each Super Bowl.

Part of the winning of a Super Bowl is how each team prevails over
difficulties, be they presented by the other team, the weather or the
fans. Both teams play, both teams face the same odds.

Weather happens, but there is a reason they play in places where the weather
is expected to be decent.

Nope, so they either do as good or better without him. You saw how
that basically screwed the Niners in the SB. When you can't
diversify, you die.

In the words of Herman Edwards: "You play to win the game."

That's just another stupid line that somebody threw out there to
justify their whine about stadium prices. BTW, a friend in Santa
Clara owns a great barbeque place. So food it taken care of too. :)
