Inevitable decision, but the wrong one

The National Football League awarded the 2014 Super Bowl to the new Meadowlands stadium in New Jersey, giving the New York City metropolitan area it’s first big game.  It is also the first game that will be played in an outdoor stadium in cold weather, and the NFL had to waive it’s 50-degree rule to allow it.  This was an obvious decision by the NFL, but in my opinion, it’s a wrong one.

The positives for holding the league’s biggest game in the world’s biggest city are numerous.  The city is accessible from three major airports (Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark), and there are more hotel rooms in the area than could ever be needed, with a number of them being five-star luxury hotels for the corporate types willing to spend the money.
