Super Bowl 44 Pro Bowl Changes

New York City host the game, after the league initially voted on 23 March 2005 that delegations on the completion of the planned West Side Stadium that will be built for the New York Jets by 2008. After government officials of the New York state did not approve $300 million for the stadium, the NFL made a decision to revive the bidding for the game’s site. The league re-evaluated the other, ineffective candidates for Super Bowl XLIII. Houston, Atlanta, and Miami on 6 October 2008, South Florida was selected by the league as the host city. With Tampa hosting the Super Bowl XLIII, Super Bowl XLIV marked the third time that successive Super Bowls was played in the same state. Super Bowls II and III were played at the Orange Bowl. Super Bowls XXI and XXII were played in California, XXI at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Stadium and XXII at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium.

Miami will be the first city to host two Super Bowls selected as a National Special Security Event (NSSE). In the realization of the terrorist attacks, last September 11, 2001, every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXVI has been chosen as an NSSE. Miami Gardens’ Super Bowl XLI was first Super Bowl designated as an NSSE. This will be the first time the Pro Bowl will be played during the off-week between the Super Bowl and the conference championships. It was announced in December 2008, that in its place of the customary Pro Bowl a week after the Super Bowl, instead, it will be done at the new time in Miami. This is the first time since 1979 that the event will not be played at Aloha Stadium. Super Bowl partakers will not be playing in the Pro Bowl. The league will give conference champions an additional week of rest for the preparation of the Super Bowl. The NFL has made it clear that this may not be a lasting move, but is merely something they wanted to try out and has talked about rotating locations for the Pro Bowl. This move also signify that the game, which otherwise would have been played February 14. Now it will not be competing against the very sensational 2010 NBA All-Star Game, also the 2010 Winter Olympics, second full day of competition and the 52nd running of the Daytona 500.
