Saints vs. Colts...

I believe many out of compassion will understandably want to see the Saints win it, but I'm leaning slightly towards the Colts to do.
 
No idea who's even playing this year. (Just kidding, sort of.) I'm just wondering aloud how the organizers are going to get it together when the entire metroplex is still frozen with three days to go. The must be nauseous with nerves, poor things.

The Super Bowl in Dallas has been big on local news for months and months, with every single detail planned out. An ice storm and deep freeze during Super Bowl week? Not exactly good timing.
 
It's not the stadium being indoors/outdoors that's the problem. It's the entire area being on lockdown because of the ice. In the south, the roads SHUT DOWN when it's icy. It's not an often enough ocurrence to buy the equipment needed to clear the roads and just have it sitting in a shed somewhere to only be used once every couple years.
Not to mention, they've got rolling blackouts going on right now. Not the kind of "Welcome to Dallas!" you want for bajillions of tourists.

The Pittburgh and Green Bay Packers players and fans have not been stressed out at all about navigating the ice and snow of the Dallas-Fort Worth area (part of the nation's big storm). They're so used to it...

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers said that the wintry mix was just a "dusting" for him...

At any rate, like I said, for the Super Bowl they are going to keep closed the retractable roof of Cowboys Stadium (which is in the city of Arlington, between Dallas and Fort Worth, also home of the Texas Rangers). The weather will be improving from Friday into Super Bowl Sunday, meanwhile, for the players and fans visiting...
 
The Steelers are staying in Downtown Fort Worth and the Packers in Dallas. The reporters like Fort Worth better because things are not as spread out, and there's more flavor in Cowtown. ESPN is basing themselves in Fort Worth, which is west of Arlington and Cowboys Stadium.

No matter what, when the weather improves from Friday on, people will be able to get around a lot more easily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the events leading up to the big game.

That was my point, wooh. I wonder how the big name stars and dignitaries are even going to get here. Hundreds, if not thousands, of flights were canceled yesterday and today. There's gotta be a huge backup. How are they going to clear out the backlog in two days?

So much for the highest Super Bowl attendance ever.
