Americas single biggest sporting event will be making its way to New York/New Jersey area in 2014. This is a huge deal for the league because this will be the 1st Super Bowl that will be played in cold weather. This could then lead to a domino affect where cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, and other cold weather teams could be hosting Super Bowls in the future as well.

Personally, I am excited because I am a huge Giants fan, and I am product of New Jersey/New York! I am glad I will be able to experience this great event in my backyard during my lifetime.
