Why These Stadiums will NEVER Host a Superbowl 

Basically if your stadium isn't indoors, isn't located in California or in the south you're never getting a Super Bowl, except that one time in New Jersey.

Me being too poor to go to one anyways: “Yeah that stadium sucks”

Love how this video was made BEFORE the sewage pipe explosion in the box seats AND the non-load-bearing safety rail collapse, and FedEx Field was still at the top of the "No way in hell" heap.

I’m not sure why you think that Houston will not host again. It has the Stadium, two Airports, ranked in the top ten of Hotel rooms and average temperature for February is 64 degrees. Not to mention the nightlife.

I would love to see the Super Bowl played in the snow

Honestly I'm looking forward to win Allegiant stadium hosts a Super Bowl cuz a Super Bowl in Las Vegas is pretty much a no brainer plus that stadium looks beautiful

Why the hell would Houston not host another Superbowl? Houston fits every criteria

Lambeau's the least surprising hard no you could have. I remember the question being asked regionally back in the mid-90s, and at that time, someone gave a great stat that answered the question forever for me: the Super Bowl at the time had about 2200 credentialed members of the media go to the week, and there were less than 1200 hotel rooms within an hour of Lambeau.

5:45 I thought you were going to say when Heinz Field was completely demolished by terrorists in The Dark Knight Rises 😏

With stadiums changing naming rights left and right, it would actually be easier to recognize the stadiums if you just called them "Browns Stadium", Seahawks Stadium". With the exception of a few, I can't keep up anymore.

I get why Philly would never host a Superbowl... But saying cause of tourists reasons is a lazy take , you got so many historical places in Philly it's not even funny 😂

There is a ton of tourist attractions in Philly, take that back. Betsy Ross house, Liberty Bell, Love park, City Hall, Art Museum, and Cheesesteak spots

You're forgetting that, while the Met Life game had surprisingly decent weather DURING the game, a MASSIVE storm hit right after the game. That pretty much ended any outdoor stadium in cold weather cities from ever getting another Super Bowl. I'm shocked that Allegiant hasn't gotten a Super Bowl scheduled yet. I would have thought they would be on the list right after Sofi.

Honestly Super Bowl 50 would’ve been the perfect season to have a Super Bowl at Lambeau.

As much as I would love to see Pittsburgh host and I know the Rooneys were pushing for it, that will always be a hard no. Hotel space and weather will always make this one impossible. Maybe if the Steelers ever get a dome but the City couldn’t afford a facility like that and the shear idea of ever having one goes completely against the identity of the team.

With all these corporate names, I have no idea what cities most are in.

"Nothing in life is certain, except for death, taxes, and Philadelphia never hosting a super bowl" -A wise person

I would love a Super Bowl in the north. The game was designed to be an all-weather game. Not a track contest. Southern college teams wouldn't have nearly the success they have had in the playoff game if the games were in harsher elements. With that said, I was bumped to see how the weather affected the Bucs-Pats this year, which to me was the most anticipated game (which doesn't include my favorite team.) I wouldn't like a team to be at a disadvantage due to the weather.

I disagree with your review of Philadelphia. Superbowl 52 was held in Minneapolis during a snowstorm. Disappointing except for the game outcome. Philadelphia has been on the short-list to host the 2016 & 2024 Olympic Games & World Cup Soccer; it could assuredly host the Superbowl venue. Multi-complex of stadiums and arenas, 5 mins from PHL airport, I-95 highway/Amtrak rail access, more than a dozen casinos in the vicinity, the Mummers, ample restaurants, historic monuments/museums, beer gardens, strip clubs, drugs and hookers. Philly, not NYC has been the host of 2 of the largest rock concerts on the globe. Live Aid (1985) & Live 8 Concert (2005) both had over 1.5 million per in attendance. Thank you. "Here lies W.C Fields. I would rather be living in Philadelphia."

In 2012 I took two of my Children to Super bowl village the week leading up to Super bowl XLVI(46)In Indianapolis,we had a great time and INDY an Awesome Job of hosting. We also did the Indianapolis Childrens Museum,I live in the Ft. Wayne Market,so getting there wasn't that hard,I believe INDY could host another Super bowl by the 2030's

NRG has hosted two already. No reason why NFL wouldn’t come back. Plus they were both noteworthy games. (28-3 and wardrobe malfunction).

I know it will NEVER happen but could you imagine a blizzard Super Bowl in Green Bay. The historical significance of the location is just insane. It would be magical and a bid to the past of football. Am I bias? Massively.

Saw this video on office blokes. Very entertaining funny and informative I really enjoyed it you have a new sub... peace and love from Gulfport, Mississippi ✌️❤️

the fact that Denver gets 300 days of sunshine a year and that we normally have a dry climate and less and less snow every year should make us a contender for a superbowl. 1 we have the hotels. 2. we have the space. 3. we have indoor practice spaces. 4 the weather isnt that bad actually better then the Meadow lands and they made that happen. 4. This is a hardcore NFL city in the heart of the city. 5. just stop being a hater yes it might be cold and yes there is a potential for snow but why not!

RE: Seattle - it rains 150 days per year on average in Seattle but the actual amount of rain is 37 inches/year on average. Much of the eastern seaboard gets more rain, for example NYC averaging 47 inches per year. It’s generally a light rain and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got one sometime soon

Wait... Nashville is about 300 seats away from a capacity of 69,420? They gotta make a small upgrade and put the SB in that city. Especially SB 69.

Some of the most memorable and fondly remembered games in many sports especially finals, are due to the crazy weather conditions at the time.

9:32 Being downtown would actually help Soldier Field. For people coming from out of town, there is decent transit to get to the stadium from your hotel.

I still don’t think we would get a super bowl in Charlotte but we are probably going to have an even better chance after the renovations for our soccer team are done

This man really just said nobody visits Philly for tourist reason…u know the history of America right???😂 not to mention rocky steps, brotherly love sign, etc. the disrespect

One thing going for Arrowhead is now that it's confirmed that it will host the world cup, Kansas City is planning on doing a lot to improve the infrastructure around the stadium including transport and hotel accommodations. The KC airport is also nearly done with a massive renovation that adds a larger, more modern terminal. The main issue for KC will be the weather at that point.

love all the aerial shots, good job

For Denver, you didn’t even mention the biggest factor: the altitude.

Given that the Panthers owner is looking to build a new retractable roof stadium sometime in the near future, Charlotte’s chances of hosting a Super Bowl will go up substantially.

I think Lucas oil should be a maybe. I remember during and after we hosted, people were talking about how they loved how accessible the city was.

I’ll watch the Super Bowl again when it’s played in snow. It’s January, it’s supposed to be cold!

It will be a nightmare If Philadelphia Host a Super Bowl 1: Traffic 2: Snow Storm 3: Airport Issues 4: Almost All Training Areas For Philadelphia Sports Are In Delaware or in New Jersey, and no one want to waste 10 dollars to train with gas 5: Lowest Placing Super Bowl Ever 6: NO ONE WANTS TO PAY 35 DOLLARS FOR A COAT IN PHILADELPHIA!!!! 7: Barley Any Outdoor Stadium Has Hosted A Super Bowl 8: They Are Trending For New Venues And Lincoln Financial Field, Wells Fargo Center, Subaru Arena, and Citizens Bank Park Won’t Make the cut 8: And To Top It all Off, Philadelphia Has The Insane Idea Of Bidding to Host The Super Bowl, NBA All Star Game, MLB World Series, The Stanley Cup for 2026! (Be laughing my butt off if the can’t host anything that year)

“No matter how many strokes of luck Robert Kraft would need” lol I see what you did there

Lambeau deserves to hold a super bowl

Really appreciate the Ariel shots. Good video 👏🏽

Bob Kraft needing a few "strokes" of luck. I see what you did there.

I feel like Houston will get more Super Bowls and Lucas Oil might, if Indy cleans up the area. As a Tampa resident, I wonder if when the Bucs' lease is up in 2028, RayJay will get a Miami-like renovation with a canopy, or a new retractable roof facility will be built. Games are brutally hot there until about mid October.

Admittedly we don't have nearly as many stadiums with the capacity of those in the US but our two main football codes here in Australia play their main final in the same stadium every year - AFL at the MCG (101,000 capacity) and NRL at Stadium Australia (80,000). While it makes sense for the biggest game to be played in the biggest stadium I really love the NFL trying to make it a neutral venue every year. Also, whilst we have had the weather effect the games... we don't really have to worry about anything like snow storms!!

Whenever it is mentioned that Tampa Bay winning the Super Bowl in 2021 was the first time a team had won in it’s home stadium that is true. But, in Super Bowl 1985, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Miami dolphins At Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, California. True, the 49ers home stadium at the time was candlestick Park in San Francisco. But Stanford Stadium was only about 30 miles from candlestick Park. Further, the San Francisco 49ers were technically the host team for the 1985 Super Bowl.

Ain't no way nobody going to Soldier Field or Arrowhead Stadium in February to watch a Super Bowl game

I understand from a broadcast/casual fan perspective why they want nice weather for the super bowl, but removing all stadiums that have a chance of snow/rain/general cold takes away from so much of what makes football, football and is a big mistake by the NFL imo.

Tompa bay gronkaneers 😭😂😂 Im dead , just got a new subscriber lmfaoooo

Following up my previous comment (It prompted me to do some research lol) The weather for in Denver on the day for the Superbowl over the last 6 years there was only 1 day that wouldn't have been Ideal.... Sunday Feb. 7, 2021: High of 55 and Sunny (NYC High of 36 with snow) Sunday Feb 2, 2020: High of 72 and Sunny (NYC High of 50...at 6am, 37 and raining by afternoon) Sunday Feb 3, 2019: High of 63 and Sunny (NYC High 52 sunny) Sunday Feb 4, 2018: High of 43 (but got colder throughout the day with some snow in the afternoon) (NYC High 41 w/ Rain) Sunday Feb 5, 2017: High of 59 and Sunny (NYC High of 41 Cloudy) Sunday Feb 7, 2016: High of 42 and Sunny ( about the same as Denver..High 44 and Sunny) My point here being that you said so emphatically that Denver was a virtual lock for snow which is very clearly is not. NYC (put their weather as well) got a Superbowl and their weather is WAY worse over the same time period as Denver. So whereas it's HIGHLY unlikely...never say never.

I think NRG might get one more crack at a Super Bowl. After all, if the Super Dome and Raymond James host regularly (both of which are older than NRG, and Raymond James additionally is under 70,000 and in an objectively worse/smaller city), then nothing's stopping NRG.

I am curious to see how a Super Bowl in Las Vegas goes. Probably going to be better than Miami, minus the beach. I could definitely see it being the biggest grossing Super Bowl in terms of money/economic impact. I would love to see a Super Bowl played in Charlotte, and with the Panthers practice facility/HQ being built down the road in Rock Hill, I could see the boxes being checkmarked. Only thing would be hotel space, but I think it's almost there. Tired of seeing Super Bowls given to New Orleans. Same could be said for Miami, but I understand the pull there.

Everybody here that wants to see the game played in cold weather needs to remember that the NFL and most people who aren't really football fans see the game as an afterthought. The League is far more invested in the pregame stuff and the halftime show than they are invested in the game no matter what the official position on this subject is. They are never going to accept a stadium where chances are high that some major music star has to try and put on a show in the middle of a rain or snow storm. And honestly lets be real here. The number of interesting competitive Super Bowls is a pretty small percentage of the total number of times it's been played. With so many boring blow outs in the big game the NFL practically has to sell it as an event that is far more than just a championship game just to keep most people interested.

Niagara Falls is within an hour of Bills Stadium and there are plenty of hotels there, it would make an epic Snow Bowl and it’s not really that cold

I love how we are all unanimous in the fact that FedEx Field is the worst NFL Stadium by a country mile. Literally no redeeming qualities about it at all.

A couple of decades ago, Philly bid on a SB at the Vet, and were actually one of the finalists with a lot of consideration given. They addressed the routy fans issue by installing a legal Courtroom and several jail cells right in the basement of the stadium (true story). The Court and cells got a lot of use during Mets vs. Phillies baseball games.

I really admire how you visited all of these cities to get these amazing drone shots 💪🔥

Living in Buffalo, during christmas time right now, there hasn’t been a centimeter of snow that has lasted more than 5 hours. Last year, no snow. This year, no snow. Stadium capacity, an issue. But the new stadium should be coming soon. and also there are tons of hotels. and parking there is not bad at all.

No matter how badly the NFL wants to deny it, football is a cold weather sport. It's boring watching games played in oversized hotel lobbies at room temperature, I want to see snow. Imagine the Super Bowl at Orchard Park, no matter who's playing, in 6 inches of snow and 20°. That's when you start to see the truly talented players shine, and a little chaos can be good. It would be amazing.

9:43 That isn't why Chicago is called the windy city.

The Indy SB was listed as one of the best ever. We host all kinds of major sporting events . Don’t count out Indy for another

I like the commentary 😂😅😂 the parking lot comments 😂🤣🤣🤣👍💯🤙

I remember thinking the Colts had a chance of winning a superbowl at their home stadium. Then Peyton had a neck surgery and they went like 2-14 😆

As a Denver resident and native, imma challenge on Mile High Stadium. Denver has the infrastructure, major airport, plenty of hotels as well as practice fields for each team. The weather during super bowl 54 was actually warmer in Denver than in Miami. The altitude is the only detractor but we have pot for that.

Did he say why he put NRG in houston on the hosted but probably never will again column? The stadium is still fairly new, houston definitely has the hotel space, there are indoor venues right next door like george r brown where they could have gameday experience indoors, and there is a convertible roof on the stadium so weather wouldnt be a factor. From what ive read Houston is towards the top of the list even skipping some teams, and all that would be asked is a little upkeep of NRG. The stadium wouldnt even need much. I'd think it would be nearly a certain thing they will host the SB again soon

You burned FedEx pretty good - I believe the NFL would play the Super Bowl in Hawaii, St. Louis or Orlando before they awarded it to that dive bar of a stadium.

This is one reason why they move the draft around now. A city that can’t host the super bowl can at least host a few days worth of draft festivities

It probably wouldn’t be for a while but I could see Indy hosting the game again.

They probably gonna eye Philly for super bowl 2026 because that year is Americas 250th birthday and Philly is already set to host the MLB world series that year

Landover mall got shut down a year before FedEx field came about in Landover. I still remember that.

As a Bengals fan I thank you for being so nice and concise, I feel like you could’ve spent the whole video on just reasons why Cincinnati will never host a super bowl

As a KC fan, arrowhead stadium is awesome, but we get blizzards and -5 degree weather in February lol

Just imagine the carnage of a Super Bowl at Highmark! The Tailgating scene would blow everything out of the water and become legendary! Bills Mafia know how to party!

As a Ravens fan, when ESPN and FOX don’t want to step foot into your city for the pre-game, it’s safe to say the city won’t be hosting a Super Bowl anytime soon, if ever 😕🙄

Does the community have enough entertainment spots? Remember the year Jacksonville got the Super Bowl? Fine weather sure, but P-Daddy had to host his pre-game party at the local Cracker Barrel restaurant.

Detroit hosted 2 Superbowl's in the past, once at Pontiac Silverdome in 1981 49ers vs Bengals, and 2005 at Ford Field Seahawks vs Steelers.

There's no reason why Houston can't host another SuperBowl

Theres potential for Lumen field in seattle to host a super bowl some day. Its seat count is just barely below the 70k minimum and its in the middle of down town with plenty of parking and hotels. Really the only major downsides are that the city itself has some major problems like homelessness and that it would probably be a pain for anyone outside of the pacific northwest to attend. Not to mention the abysmal traffic.

KC fan here. A couple of notes on the maybe of Arrowhead: being that we are used to cold winters we have quite a bit of big, indoor spaces for practices. Also as for the field, I know they put in heaters and amazing drainage under the field a few years ago. If it happened, it would be awesome to see a Super Bowl while it was snowing, while not having to deal with inches of snow on the ground.

Another thing working against Baltimore for the Super Bowl - Beginning of February is almost always marred by snowstorms/ice storms. Stopped counting how many birthdays (2/8) were spent watching falling ice and/or snow from the living room window.

You showed Lucas Oil at the beginning but didn't say why it wouldn't host again. Was curious to hear that one.

I was in 2nd grade when the Super Bowl came to Detroit and we went downtown Detroit for the Super bowl experience. It was the coldest a 7 year old me had ever been

They need to play every couple of years In a foul weather stadium, let’s get some -5 temps and a foot of snow lol

For the Titans you could have said the seating capacity just comes up a yard short.

Frankly, the worse the weather is, the better that game is to watch.

ROBERT KRAFT STROKES OF LUCK ??? 😅 You snuck that massage parlay joke in !!!

Nashville has everything except, you know… A stadium ready for it…

Cincinnati couldn't host because they barely even have one "practice facility" and no indoor facility

NYC or Northern New Jersey as MetLife Stadium got the Super Bowl that year in 2014 because the Jets and Giants teamed up pretty much and built a brand new stadium so the league rewarded them with a super Bowl.

That Arlington Heights stadium for the Bears would be the only time where I’d willingly stay at my parents’ house during Super Bowl weekend.

The lack of a Super Bowl at First Energy Stadium is particularly devastating because it has never hosted a Browns playoff game either since opening in 1999. I feel every stadium, no matter what, should be allowed to host the Super Bowl. The NJ game I feel opened the door for more cold-weather Super Bowls.

We just got 6 inches if snow in the Nashville Area. Also the opposing team could easily practice on Vandys field.

The "At least it's not Detroit" was icing on the cake of a very entertaining video.

Tampa may have been the first team to win in their home stadium, but they weren't the first to win in their home market. That honor goes to the 49ers who won at Stanford University in SB XIX

I love the Kraft "strokes" reference to his days at the ole Orchid Day Spa in sunny FLA.

Cleveland has talked about putting a dome on the building. It would be really cool to see

if i owned an nfl franchise, our stadium would have to become a retractable dome at minimum, just so we can have a shot at hosting the big game…and college bowl games and stuff

I would love to see a Super Bowl be contested in a cold weather environment. As a Canadian some of my fondest memories of Grey Cup's are the games that are contested in winter conditions want to see what I mean look up the highlights from the 1996 Grey Cup

Lucas Field was a big success. Everyone loves their experience there. Will be back for sure

“Rocks kicked up in their windshields.” Wow! That’s a real specific Colorado reference! 😂

Denver could surely host with a very good chance of good weather. I lived there from '92 - '01 and winters there are not THAT bad at all. When they get hit they get a lot of snow, but it doesn't stick around too long usually. Here is a thing I found from weather recorded in Denver. "January Weather in Denver Colorado, United States Daily high temperatures are around 45°F, rarely falling below 28°F or exceeding 61°F." Worst case scenario is that it is just below freezing, possibly some wind and they have the equipment to have that field ready to go if there were much snow. One other thing I found on the weather there. "The average sliding 31-day snowfall during January in Denver is essentially constant, remaining about 1.9 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 4.7..." And I am not biased at all! :)

One of the main reasons why Indy's Super Bowl was successful was the weather was USUALLY warm that week. Very very rare to see 60 degrees in February on one day but the entire week is phenomenal in itself. Indy got so lucky with that. Plus they introduced the zip line and the was probably the biggest hit besides the game itself.
