[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 31254, member: 170"] The Super Bowl will never be played in Green Bay even Lambeau Field would be domed. Green Bay facilities( Hotels, etc ) could not handle the many, many people coming into Green Bay from all parts of the world if a Super Bowl was scheduled for Green Bay. Most people going to Super Bowl are not Packer fans who for the most part live with in driving distance of GB. The hotel space within driving distance of Green Bay is scarce enough just for a Packer game. Plus the Packers have no plans to dome Lambeau Field. The citizens of Green Bay would not go for financing another 150M or so of taxpayers money to dome Lambeau Field after spending 295M to completely renovate lambeau Field four years ago.This is only a city of 220,000. Canton, OH would not be a position to host a Super Bowl for same reasons Green Bay could not. Canton hasn't a much of a football stadium as it is. it seats 20,000 or so. The owners of NFL franchise would never finance a domed 400M stadium to have just a Super Bowl played there once a year. That would be financially unfeasible. The system they are using right now works just fine. The coldest game at Lambeau Field was Ice Bowl (NFL Championship game) on December 31, 1967 which the Packers beat the Cowboys.
