Dallas Home Field Advantage

[St. Francisco]

even though it's always been possible the hosting city's team was never good enough to possibly make it.

Every season, there is a 6.25% (1 in 16) chance that an NFL team will play at their home stadium for the Super Bowl. Those are frighteningly bad odds, which is why it's never happened.

But even if it did happen, there won't be any rule changes...frankly, that's a stupid question, and it's even more stupid for you to assume that this is the first year that the team hosting the Super Bowl has a decent shot at making it. Super Bowl tickets are hard to come by, and ridiculously expensive to boot. There won't be a massive influx of fans to create a significant homefield advantage...and even if there were, that's part of the game. What do you suggest they do, host the Super Bowl at stadiums capable of hosting such a big event that do not house NFL teams? Or just wait and see which teams suck ass, and schedule Super Bowls there?

Remember how many fans the Steelers had at the Steelers-Seahawks SB? Seemed like there was a ton of them there, and no one took issue with it.

Just asking after reading several articles on the issue, do you think that the NFL will try to change something if Dallas ends up with Home Field advantage throughout the playoffs? (provided they get there)

I would think the Cowboys and the NFL make more money if this happens.

Keep in mind Dallas has a large fan contingent from all across the country that is willing to spend big money for these types of things.

They'd be strongly represented in the event the Cowboys can actually get to XLV. The game is way too far off to be thinking about that sort of thing, though.

Also, off the top of my head, Miami hosted this past Super Bowl a year after the Dolphins made a playoff run. I'm also getting pretty annoyed at the media and some fans acting as if the Cowboys are the first team that ever had such an opportunity.

Who cares if it was in Detroit? Was that supposed to be another joke about Detroit being such a terrible city?

Ok seriously...not trying to be a dick to anyone...but what in the fuck is up with all these retarded ass threads lately? They seem to be linked to the Cowboys too....Miles Austin best WR....Dallas Home Field Advantage...

LOL, not at you thinking they will change rules because the host team got homefield but because you think Dallas has a shot to making the SB.

the odds are much higher / worse than that actually.

How so, the host team would be one of 16 teams vying for a conference championship.

Therefore, there's 16 possibilities and the host is 1 of them.

[Hasselbeck]

Another reason why most Cowboy fans are annoying as fuck.

Yes Dallas fans, the Super Bowl is in Dallas. That doesn't mean you're going to be there.

[FUSE]

Cowboys aren't going to make the Superbowl, They havent made it past the divisional round in 14 years. Last time they did, they won the Superbowl in 1995.

[St. Francisco]

No, those are the exact odds. 2 teams out of 32 make the Super Bowl. Go away and die.

If the Cowgirls earn home advantage, they deserve it.
The Super Bowl was scheduled years ago.
