NFL Mulls Possibility Of Super Bowl Saturday In 2014

The NFL is already developing a contingency plan for next year’s Super Bowl, and it has nothing to do with how to deal with another 34-minute electrical blackout. Instead, the league might be looking at Super Bowl Saturday.

NFL officials are looking into possibly playing the big game on a Saturday or postponing it several days if the weather is too prohibitive, according to a report from Sports Business Daily. The 2014 Super Bowl is scheduled for Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and will be the first Super Bowl ever to be held in an open-air stadium in the northeast.

The league is considering various options that include the possibility of delaying the contest several days in the event of a weather emergency on game day.

Sunday is such a tradition, but I'm not at all surprised they want to consider this

 

If there's a forecast for 2-3 feet of snow...Saturday is a good idea. Better than trying to postpone it a full week.

I'd prefer they move it to Saturday on a regular basis.

 

If they do it Saturday then it can be a later start, around 8.

 

heck yea need hangover sunday lol no work

 

they could and should move it to saturday night.could be a real economic boost to the food,alcohol and hotel industries,and it would give people a whole day to recover.

 

God forbid if there's weather in the area towards game time. :icon_rolleyes:

Wonder what the plan is if it's too sunny...

 

the game should always be played on saturday

 

Agree.

 

I still don't get it, why New York? Where is damn cold...

 

Recovery day? What a bunch of pussies.

 

Saturdays would be great. You could have people crash instead of leaving early. Let the party continue....

 

I like the idea of Superbowl Monday as a national holiday a lot better. And heck changing it for weather, it's football.

 

Yes and Yes.

 

Agree.

 

Why is that? in the end is still the same game... no matter what...
