[QUOTE="Dai Perk, post: 949107, member: 78552"] Obviously, that's the way it is with the Super Bowl, cities actually bid to host it each year, so it's a possibility that a team might get a home field advantage if their city happened to win the bid for that year, but most of the time, the host city isn't even an NFL city. I see the value of this neutral field, but on the other hand, for things like the NBA Finals, if you've been a loyal fan all year, you might get to watch them win a ***le right there in your home town, which is absolutely priceless, so... The other danger is, something like 75% of the people at the Super Bowl aren't really fans of either team, they're just there for the spectacle. As an event made to appeal to the widest possible audience, I get it, but it's still less personal for the die-hard fans. [/QUOTE]
