Jacksonville basically screwed any chance of charlotte getting it or any small market area any time soon.

If charlotte builds a new stadium in 15 years and downtown explodes with buildings then sure. But not anytime soon. Ill eat my crow if its sooner than that but I doubt it

The Super Bowl is just like the Olympics or the World Cup. The economic impact isn't anywhere near what the city leaders think it will be.

Not true. The Olympics and WC don't produce the immediate economic benefit enough to offset the cost of hosting the events. Recently on real sports they even showed that Brazil was spending millions into all these stadiums with some used only a few games, but all the direct soccer proceeds goes to Fifa. In Olympics, vast infrastructure from stadiums, sleeping facilities and hotels are built for the event at huge costs and many will not bring any financial benefit post the event. In contrast, the SB has been generating $500M to $600M for host cities. Unlike Olympics and World Cups that require vast expenditures to host the event with much of it unused after the event, the SB is held in the teams stadium using the existing infrastructure and doesn't require temporary of one event use properties to be built,

I believe there is a formula that requires a certain amount of hotel rooms wishing 30 minutes drive of stadium, but I remember reading about a huge shortage of rooms when they held it recently in Indy and they had people staying over an hour away, so with a new stadium, you could see one in Charlotte sooner than later.

No.  Hotels aren't the problem, it is the lack of bigger venues closer by outside of the convention center and the cable box for snooty NFL events, although I would offer to personally host the Playboy party if the opportunity to bid was given. :D

 

You can bet your sweet ass that fuger Blank will bid for it when that ugly new shithole is built in the ATL for him.  At least that mess in the ice storm when they hosted it before can be used against them, but also against us due to storm patterns I guess.

BOA was originally designed to meet Superbowl seating requirements of that time. 

Richardson has said privately that that he wished the stadium was about 5000 seats smaller.

I'm sure BOA's time has passed and it would take a new stadium to have one in Charlotte.

I hope not.  As an NC resident it would just be awful for the economy.

 

And, of course, most of you will call me out and ask if I would like to have it in Buffalo.  Of course, I would.  Because you'd hear nothing but media folks bitching and complaining about how cold and dark it is with so little around.  Than it would be cold as hell and lots of snow for the game.  It'd just be a great thing to see.  Especially because I do not ever imagine the Bills ever making the playoffs again.

 

Buffalo games are the best late in the season.  I'm going to Bills Browns in late November.

 

Favorite stadium by far.
