A multi billion dollar industry that cares not a nickel about its employees. Still the press steadfastly refuses to hold the NFL’s collective feet to the fire when it come to safety and possible HGH/Steroid/PED use. The first commandment when dealing with the NFL is “Thou must not speak evil of the NFL.” Second is “Thou must speak of Roger Goodell as though he was a God.”
If I cared about football, I would urge that all Super Bowl games be held in Miami or San Diego or Honolulu. They could always get 65,000 outdoors at premium prices in any of those places. The better question is why baseball does not do that – seven games in a decent weather venue, play every day. Maybe add Houston and Phoenix to the list.
A few years ago, I would have added Dallas, but I still remember the disaster in their brand new, nothing can go wrong stadium. Even the Grey Cup rule of only in covered stadia broke down there.
What Grey Cup rule of covered stadia are you talking about? The most recent Grey Cup was played in Regina, which has an open-air stadium (as does every CFL team NOT playing in Vancouver or Toronto).
Ever since expansion in 1962, mlb teams have played a schedule of 162 games, before that it was 154. World Series has always been in October, 1903 the first WS began on October 1. @timbob2313.

Baseball world series is played in October, not the same as early February.
