Who decides where the Super Bowl will be played, and when do they decide?

Each city puts in a bid to the NFL to host a future Superbowl. The list plans for where the game will be, security, improvments, city life, how the city economy will be affected. ect. Then, when a certain time has elapsed, the NFL commission chooses a place,and thats it, theres a superbowl

typically the games you get first would be whomever is in your division. So, since Dallas is in the NFC East, you would get Dallas.\n\nI live in the Detroit region so we get Bears, Minnesota, or Packers along with the Lions. Otherwise, then we get the national game

whoever pays them the most money......\n\nthere is a nomination fee that each city has to pay to the commity then the commity  goes and looks at the resources and locations where events will be held. then it chooses the best city for those games......

Because Lamar Hunt(owner of the Kansas City Chiefs) saw his daughter playing with a high bounce ball as we call them. He asked her what is was called. She said it was a superball, yeah another name for the same thing. He liked the name and suggested naming the NFL Championship game the Super Bowl. I think though that you are mistaken with the World Series of Baseball when only the U.S. and Canada have teams that can play in it. You are now just getting picky and silly. Super Bowl just a refrence to importance and how great it is not to country.

As of now, it is the Colts and the Bears, but there are still 6 games left and the Chargers, the Ravens or the Patriots could emerge as the front-runner in the AFC.  In the NFC, the Bears do seem like the pick.  I have to agree with your assessment for the worst.  The Texans -- Raiders game could be downloaded right to the blooper reel.

it's where you finish in your division\nexample:\nif you're first in your division, you play the other first place teams of the two divisions in the conference where you're not  required to play every team.\n \nSeattle  1st in nfc west will play\ntampa bay  1st nfc south\nn.y. giants 1st nfc east

It's a process, like the Olympic Committee has for choosing what country gets the Olympics.  The process takes years, that is why we usually know years in advance where it is going to be held.  All the countries that would like to host the World Cup submit their forms, giving reasons why they should get it.  Then FIFA sends out committees to look at stadiums, transportation structure, roadways, hotels, general areas.  Then they narrow them down , and finally make a selection.

Well each team goes to a professional organization to get their helmets designed and prepared.\nThey get draft-designs and choose the best pf the designs.\n\nOfcourse, the officials of NFL should approve the designs.

First of all, please believe that European Soccer has no bearing whatsoever on what the NFL would do.  \n\nAnd another interesting note is the amount of security surrounding NFL transportation.  In this day and age, they take no chances.  In fact,  I've read that it is more difficult to be the pilot of a charter NFL jet than to work security for some state's Governors!\n\nHere's what the league rulebook digests says:\nThis would fall under the category of rule 17, Emergencies and Unfair Acts.  \n\nFirst, the options:\n1. Authority to cancel, postpone, or terminate games is vested only in the Commissioner and the League President (other League office representatives and referees may suspend play temporarily; see point No. 3 under this section and point No. 1 under "Authority of Referee" below).\n\nThen, the procedures (my truncation):\n1. If, because of an emergency, a regular-season or postseason game is not started at its scheduled time and cannot be played at any later time that same day, the game nevertheless must be played on a subsequent date to be determined by the Commissioner. \n\n4. For regular-season postponements, the Commissioner will make every effort to set the game for no later than two days after its originally scheduled date and at the same site. If unable to schedule at the same site, he will select an appropriate alternative site. If it is impossible to schedule the game within two days after its original date, the Commissioner will attempt to schedule it on the Tuesday of the next calendar week. The Commissioner will keep in mind the potential for competitive inequities if one or both of the involved clubs has already been scheduled for a game close to the Tuesday of that week (for example, a Thursday game). \n\nSo, the NFL ethic seems to be, play the game somehow.  A cancellation/forfeiture of a game seems to only occur because of willing non-participation.\n\nI think such an event would cause a postponement for a time, and then replays of the games missed at a later date with a rebuilt team.  As sad as that seems, it would galvanize the community.

Interesting, different info than I figured.  Depends on how you look at it--for one event, the Super Bowl, followed by soccer and F1 racing.  Link has a lot more info:

The only method the NFL has to distribute tickets to the public is through a random drawing. The primary means of distribution is through each NFL team. There is no other means for the general public to purchase tickets. The NFL does not sell tickets to travel or ticket agents. \n\nEntries for the random drawing are accepted between Feb. 1 and June 1 of the year preceding the game in question. All entries must include name, address, phone number and email address. You will be notified by mail if you are eligible to purchase Super Bowl tickets in October or November. All ticket requests must be sent via certified or registered mail. Requests for tickets to Super Bowl XLI, to be played Feb. 4, 2007 in Miami, Fla., will be accepted beginning Feb. 1, 2006.

NFL draft heads to Radio City Music Hall\nNEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL draft, which moved out of Madison Square Garden last season, will move to another New York City landmark this year -- Radio City Music Hall. \n\nIt will be held April 29-30. \n\nLast year the draft was at the Javits Convention Center, moving from the theater at Madison Square Garden because the NFL was upset with Garden management for opposing the proposal for a new stadium for the Jets on Manhattan's West Side. The stadium proposal was rejected by a state committee.

At that time, the NFL did not award the conference championship game to the team with the better record.  The site of the conference title games rotated from year to year depending on who made the game.  So for instance, one year the order of precedence may have been West Division champ, then Central, then East, whereas the next year it was Central, East, West, and the year after could have been East, West, Central (also remember there was only one wild card team, and only three rounds of the playoffs).\n\nAs it turns out, that year the Central had precedence over the East, so the Steelers hosted the title game that year.

It has to do with weather, stadium capacity, motels in and around the city, and how much the city and team are willing to put forward to have the superbowl there.

I don't think the Superbowl winner makes a big deal out of being 'world' champs.  \n\nEach NFL team is from a US city, so the game is not "the USA versus the USA" - it's more a case of San Francisco versus New York.  See the difference?\n\nWould be cool someday to see a Superbowl where New York played Paris or Tokyo...
