Plus, it would be a nightmare for those in attendance (remember, the Super Bowl is full of casuals) and could potentially be a logistical nightmare. TL;DR - It's a stupid ****ing idea.

The game was put into seemingly perfect conditions last year in a dome. The game was delayed for a blackout. Anything can happen. They put the Colts/Bears game in Miami a warm weather city and we saw how that worked out. Some of the greatest/most memorable games have been contested under bad weather conditions

The "Greatest Game Ever" was played in dismal conditions:

I think people forget about Tamme. He had a good season last year but with Thomas' season so far, he was lost in the background.

I always liked him as a Colt.

This isn't the 1950s smash mouth NFL anymore. This is the pass happy 21st century multi-billion dollar NFL now. Times have changed dramatically (for the better IMO) since 50-60 years ago.
