Now, those who are paying attention will notice that it's been the NFL's inclination to put their sport's Championship game either in a warm weather city or in a climate-controlled dome stadium.
No more.
Come 2014, American football will finally bring its biggest game to its biggest market: New York City. On Tuesday, it was announced that New York / New Jersey will host Super Bowl XLVIII (that's 48, for those not fluent in Roman Numeral) in 2014.
Here is a list of cities that have hosted the 45 Super Bowls + the 3 that have host cities but haven't happened yet:

There were a couple indicators that New York-New Jersey would win their bid:
1. The NFL waived their "expected temperature of at least 50 degrees at gametime" (late January / early February) for this vote, which came down to Miami, Tampa, and New York-New Jersey.
2. It's New York freakin City. Get a Super Bowl here already, geez.
As with any big decision, there are those who oppose hosting the game in a cold weather city in the middle of winter. Football purists complain that the elements should not affect the outcome of a championship game, not to mention league officials who are afraid of what inclement weather would do to the weeklong proceedings that precede the actualy game (press days, travel schedules, etc). What if there are sub-zero temperatures? Ice on the roads? Or God forbid, if it should snow? To which, I defer to long-time New York sports radio pundit Mike Francesa, who replied to those concerns thus: "Tough. It's football. Shut up."
Countdown 2014!
