NYC runaway favorite for 2014 Super Bowl
February 26, 2010
By BART HUBBUCH
INDIANAPOLIS -- A snowy Super Bowl right in Manhattan's back yard now looks like a done deal.
Arizona's reported decision this morning to pull out of the running for the 2014 Super Bowl appears to make New York the runaway favorite to host the game. That's because Tampa and South Florida -- which held the past two Super Bowls -- are the only other bidders.
The 2014 Super Bowl is scheduled to be awarded at the NFL's owners meetings in Orlando next month.
The idea of hosting a game at the new, open-air Giants/Jets complex at the Meadowlands picked up steam earlier this year when the owners waived the game's weather requirement.
Commissioner Roger Goodell also publicly praised the concept of a New York Super Bowl during the run-up to this year's game.
