Super Bowl 48... New York...

[jessup270]

Frankly I think next year's Super Bowl will drive secondary market ticket prices up astronomically compared to recent years. NY's a market where a lot of very wealthy people have no qualms spending thousands and thousands of dollars a month to rent tiny little apartments, or about the cost of a Superbowl ticket every month just to park their car. Couple that with the fact that they won't have to travel, and all of Manhattan can be back in the office Monday morning for work (assuming they can get back across the bridges and tunnels by daybreak)... I don't know... I just have this feeling that ticket prices outside of the lucky few who are offered face value are going to be well beyond what we usually see.

On a TV show, a couple was looking for a one million dollar apartment in Manhattan. They found a rather small one they liked, the monthly maintenance was $8,000 per MONTH, not a typo.

Of course this did NOT cover the monthly mortgage.

they did mortgage the future to try to repeat in 2001 - 2002 ......

but if jamal wouldn't have got hurt they probably would have pulled it off .....

I am glad to see ozzie take some of the blame for the salary cap hell and rebuilding because everyone just blames the decline on BB .......

If the Ravens had stayed with Randell Cunningham they would of had a chance.

I don't know about this. If the Jets, Giants or Patriots make it, then yea it's possible. But it all depends on the weather. If it's below freezing I can't see more demand than what New Orleans had this year.

I was willing to pay much more $$$ this year to goto New Orleans (granted it was my first Super Bowl), but I can't see emptying my bank account next year to sit in what will most likely be harsh elements. When I think about how much earlier I had to leave my hotel in New Orleans to avoid the crowds and to enjoy the pregame festivities, that's just more time than I want to spend outside in New Jersey. Think about it, fans could be in the elements from 10am to 11pm at night - unless they provide warm tents for ticket holders.

New Orleans is a great spot for a Superbowl. So much time is spent at pregame parties and events that it does seem stupid (as Joe said) to have it in a cold city. That's a lot of walking and time spent outside.

If the Ravens make it next year, I'll wait until close to game day to see where tickets are and what the weather is like. If the price is extremely reasonable and the weather isn't to bad I may purchase.

Advantage of this is no long halftime show.
Eli has always played well in the cold so it won't bother him.

Did you watch Randall play that year? He was awful.

An awful 2-0 as a starter.

Well, if the Ravens make it to Super Bowl XLVIII, and if my name gets picked in the season ticket holders’ lottery, then I will definitely purchase tickets to the game. My brother lives about fifteen minutes from the stadium, so I would be able to sleep on the floor in his apartment in North Jersey.

Flacco plays well in cold weather too.
