NFL Super Bowl 2010
The particular 2010 Pro Bowl is going to be played one week before the Super Bowl on Sunday, Jan. 31 and both games will end up being staged in Dolphin Stadium, the National football league announced Tuesday.
“We are looking at alternatives to strengthen the actual Pro Bowl,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We will proceed to utilize the actual players to make sure it is a great event and can consider this concept after the 2010 Pro Bowl.”
The website and date of Pro Bowl games after 2010 will be decided at a later date and can consist of actively playing the game over a rotating basis in Honolulu, the NFL announced.
The current AFC-NFC Pro Bowl format, which began in 1971, rotated annually between web host sites until 1980 when it moved to Honolulu. The 2010 game also won’t be South Florida’s first Pro Bowl: the 1975 game took place in Miami’s Orange Bowl. The game has been held in Tampa, Seattle, Dallas, Kansas City, New Orleans and Los Angeles on three occassions.
It is not a brand new notion to possess the game transferred up to take place among the conference championship games and the Super Bowl. The National football league provides discussed it several times in recent years, and Goodell told the Associated Press last month that keeping the game precede the actual Super Bowl would keep away from a “somewhat anticlimactic” ending to the season.
The move to realize the Pro Bowl schedule as well as location was reviewed over the past two years with National football league club owners, the NFL Players Association, the NFL Player Advisory Council, and additional players, and it obtained wide player and club support.
“Moving the Pro Bowl to the Sunday prior to the Super Bowl can include even a lot more excitement to Super Bowl week, one of the most awaited weeks of the year,” said Frank Supovitz, the NFL’s senior vice president of events. “Taking the Pro Bowl to new locations can showcase our best players to a lot more fans surrounding the country. We tend to be also in discussions with important leaders in Hawaii to continue each of our partnership with the State of Hawaii, which has appreciated the Pro Bowl for 30 years.”
In addition to the actual Pro Bowl’s annual ticket subscribers, tickets to the 2010 Pro Bowl at Dolphin Stadium will be made available to Dolphins season ticket holders, in addition to to fans across the country. Pro Bowl annual ticket subscribers in Hawaii will keep their own consideration status for any future games at Aloha Stadium.
The 2009 Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 8, and will be televised on NBC at 4:30 p.m. ET.
