WHAT ABOUT THE PRO BOWL?
Posted: January 31, 2010
We all know that the Super Bowl in New Orleans in 2013 is scheduled on "Carrollton" Sunday, February 7. It is likely that the first weekend's parades will be pushed back a week, to Feb 1. This is what happened in 2002 when the NFL championship game in New Orleans was moved to accommodate a change in dates caused by the event of 9/11, which affected the entire NFL schedule. But, WHAT ABOUT THE 2013 PRO BOWL? This year's event is set in the host city-Miami. Where will the 2013 Pro Bowl be played? It's going back to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012. It wasn't part of the bidding process for the 2013 Super Bowl. So what happens if the NFL wants the game in New Orleans? Would parades be pushed back two weeks? Say it isn’t so!
