NFL's Secret List of Demands for Super Bowl Host City Revealed
13 replies
Deerless DicesubscriberOPThe Minneaplois Star Tribune has recently run a story detailing some of the secret demands the league makes to Host cities when awarding super bowls.
http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/262253921.html
The document itself is 154 pages, the article summarizes some of the demands below. It appears that the Host City (re: tax payer dollars) is on the hook to pay for these demands, although private funding does exist to help offset the initial upfront expenses.
The list includes the following, again the Host city picks up the tab for all of this:
Police escorts for Team Owners
Presidential Suites in high class hotels
All revenue from ticket sales
NFL preferred ATM Machines, replacing ATM machines that do not meet the NFL "preferred payment services"
Access to 3 top quality Golf Courses for Fall or Summer prior to the game
Curbside parking to a "NFL House" where valued and influential guests to meet, unwind, network and conduct business
Local police officers for anti-counterfeit enforcement teams
Licensing Fees waived for up to 450 courtesy cars and buses
Creation of "Clean Zones" in a one mile radius around the stadium and a six block radius around the NFL HQ that restrict certain activities as well as temporary suspension of new, and existing permits for such activities
At least 20 billboards in NFL designated areas
All travel expenses for the 180 person familiarization team that will scout the region
New playing surface with Super Bowl logos installed at the Stadium
All team hotels required to carry the NFL network on TV for 1 year prior to the game
Increase cell phone strength at team hotels with the addition portable cellular towers
Two top quality bowling venues for the Superbowl Celebrity Bowling Classic
20 color pages of free space in local newspapers, 4 weeks of free promotion on local radio stations, 250 live or prerecorded ads
Exclusive rights to select vendors to sell Super Bowl merchandise at local airports and unrestricted ability to put kiosks at multiple spots in the airport.
The Host committee can agree or disagree to any of the demands. The Vikings are keeping secret what they agreed to, and that has made locals pretty unhappy.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
Ronnie Bassluxury_boxThe NFL has become one of the greediest mother****ing organizations that there is, we had the last Super Bowl and they were absolute total c*nts to the locals, cut them off from making any money from the game, until they get off their high horse F*CK THEM and especially Goodell.
finyank13New MemberSo what does the City get out of it that is beneficial to them? Tax revenues from food, merchandise, etc?
That's it?

Deerless Dicesubscriberyeah, pretty much the tax revenue from restaurants, hotels, car rentals (that aren't NFL affiliated)

I keep trying to tell people that most scholarly studies show the economic gain from hosting a super bowl is minimal. This is very strong supporting evidence. Additionally most of the local restaurants and hotels are large chain companies so the money they earn largely goes back to the big corporation with employees making their nominal wages.

yes yes, I've come to find all those pesky peso-laced ATM machines quite a nuisance.
You think you've got a twenty dollar bill at the counter to cover a six pack of savory Sculpin IPA only to be told you have the equivalent of a dollar and fifty-four cents. So you slow walk back to the cooler, give Sculpin a kiss goodbye, and rather than walking out like your pride is begging, you sulk your part-time alcoholic ass over to the poor section. What ironically do you find in your price range? A fuggin Tecate.
"F*** YOU Mexico, F**** YOUUUU", you say....... but you grab it anyway and then chug it in the car cuz you're too ashamed to take it home. Then you do the unthinkable- you return to that same ATM, grab a pocketful of currency, and head to the dimmest lit strip club around where you unload it all on every Maria, Sofia, and Isabella you can find. 19 lap dances and 30 dollars later it hits you- you coulda drank a regular beer and had a regular night.
Deerless DicesubscriberI'm sure the service charge on a Super Bowl ATM would put a strip club ATM to shame.
