Following a harsh winter in Maryland, Baltimore Ravens team owner Steve Bisciotti has logistical concerns about awarding the 2014 Super Bowl in New York.

"I'm not sold on it," Bisciotti told the New York Daily News. "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."

The New York bid is expected to triumph over Tampa and Miami.

Other teams that are reportedly inclined to vote against the New York entry: the Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
