Plus by now they can move the Saints without taking the PR hit that would have come with leaving New Orleans in 2005.

However, if Benson leaves it would more likely be to San Antonio. He doesn't have a lot of interest in Los Angeles. Either way it woud be a shame. Saints fans have packed the Dome for years in spite of having a horrible franchise through most of the last 40 years.

LA doesn't want a franchise...the NFL wants a franchise in LA. If LA wanted an NFL Franchise, it would have kept the Rams/Raiders.

The NFL just doesn't like the fact that it's missing out on a "large market."

Pittsburgh isn't a large market by "NFL Standards" but their games always sell out because of FAN INTEREST. That's what really determines the market...and LA just doesn't have it. They like their Lakers...and that's about it.

I wish Pittsburgh could host one.

In all fairness, USC probably could have beaten either one of those teams this year.

Seems like, every Super Bowl is either in:

Florida
California
Louisana!

Yeah I think the NFL should move the Jags to LA and set it up like this:

AFC North
1 Pittsburgh
2 Cincinatti
3 Cleveland
4 Baltimore

AFC South
1 Indianapolis
2 Houston
3 Tennessee
4 Kansas City

AFC West
1 LA Jaguars
2 San Diego
3 Denver
4 Oakland

AFC East
1 New England
2 New York
3 Miami
4 Buffalo

NFC North
1 Green Bay
2 Chicago
3 Minnesota
4 Detroit

NFC South
1 N'awlins
2 Carolina
3 Tampa Bay
4 Atlanta

NFC East
1 NYG
2 Washington
3 Philadelphia
4 Dallas

Huh, what u think, Jacksonville doesn't sell out even though they have a great team most of the time in recent years, Huh?

I highly doubt it. That always sounds so cool to say, but the truth is that even the sorriest NFL team (my Raiders) would probably stomp the piss out of ANY college team.

I think they should play a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh....quit babyin the damn players and make em play in some REAL weather! haha

I think they should rotate the game between states. Indy should host one soon cause they have that new dome. I would like to see the game return to play in L.A. or even Pasadena. Same with San Antonio. I dont think the same city should host the game til at least 8 years after the last one.

Indy is doing so in 2012.
