Really? It's not because you'd have to inform the city it will be hosting a Super Bowl a week before the game was held, since you wouldn't know which team's record to be examining until they got through the playoffs? Or because giving home-field advantage to a single team in a one-game final would be impractical and unfair? Or because it needs to be held in a dome or a warm-weather city, unless you want to face the prospect of rescheduling the year's biggest television event and offering make-goods on all those advertising dollars, perhaps even week after week until the weather cooperated?The only 'neutral' city the NFL plays in is Honalulu, Hi, where the Pro-bowl in played in Aloha Stadium. Every other SuperBowl venue is the home field of some NFL team. In this case, Lucus Oil Feild is the home field of the Indianapolis Colts.
Personally I would like the NFL use the home stadium of whichever team goes into the Superbowl with the best record. I won't happen because they won't make nearly as much money...
And, IMO, playing the Superbowl halftime show is one sure-fired sign that one's artistic career/relevence has not only jumped the shark, but has been eaten and shat out by the shark...
