Has teams bidding for the "Superbowl" been mentioned. Team owners nominate how much they will pay for the game, highest bid wins. Winner gets xx% of the gate and xx% of all concessions sold.

What does the team who hosts the game get?

This would be too easy to exploit, too. The richest teams would be able to get the game every year the way you have it now. You would have to add the stipulation that a team that wins the bid can't bid again for x seasons

i dont want people bidding for the super bowl, i think thats a poor idea. i want a neutral site game with a large stadium with high ticket prices to be split down the middle and given to the two teams involved.

agreed....epic. My team hosted league championship because we scored 3 more points during the regular season than our opponent. The cash we got from this is nice, but we didn't really deserve all of it.

i like how people from both sides of the aisle agree on this. those who hosted them know its unfair, and those who didnt got the shaft already.

Of course..instead of neutral site you could always have the visiting team sell out their own stadium at whatever max price they can and get concessions instead of the 1/2 expected price and no concessions.

Well anyway, our team got like 540k for the 1/2 price deal, while the home team raked in probably over 6 mil in ticket sales and concessions all because of a "37" pt point differential.

But they've been doing this since season 1 I'm guessing; so it's going to be hard for Bort to switch to a new process I bet.



It can't be that hard -- GLB switched from a blanket bonus to "Jumbotron" sales a couple of seasons ago, which suggests that most of the relevant code is in place.
