All the cold weather cities want in on all the exciting, lucrative NFL events.
After hearing owners from Philadelphia, Minnesota and Pittsburgh lobby for a cold weather Super Bowl, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel believes Chicago is primed to host the big game and the NFL Draft.
“I would say that there are two things in pro football I would love to see in Chicago, either one of them or both: the NFL Draft and the Super Bowl,” Emanuel told the Chicago Tribunerecently. “They have different advantages for the city given that we have neither one, both would be great attractions for the city to bring national attention. We’ll work on both. There’s something to the draft and there’s something to the Super Bowl. I compliment the NFL for deciding to change to cold-weather cities.”
There’s only so much cold weather celebrating folks can handle.
