New York is regarded as the favorite over Tampa, Miami Aaron Wilson
New York is the prohibitive favorite to land the 2014 Super Bowl over competing bids from Tampa and Miami, andthe New York Daily News is reporting that at least 11 teams are in favor of giving the game to New York.
Why? Because of their new $1.7 billion stadium and the collective clout of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
Who's in favor of the game being played in New York? The Giants and Jets as well as the Patriots, Falcons, Eagles, Cowboys, Browns, Chargers, Packers, Vikings and Broncos.
Who's against it? The Texans, Steelers, Bills, Cardinals, Ravens, Dolphins and Buccaneers.
"I'm not sold on it," Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said. "The idea of cold weather certainly doesn't scare us. The idea of a two-foot snowstorm does. After what we've been through in Baltimore in the last three months, you really have to wonder if logistically it's possible the darn thing could get postponed. I don't think you could get people into the Meadowlands, 70,000 people into the Meadowlands, in a two-foot snowstorm in New York."
