Tampa and Miami are also in the running. Some owners are not keen to give the site to New York, but it appears that New York will win when the vote is taken. Second, a vote amongst owners could potentially apply the new postseason overtime rules to the regular season. These rules make it so an overtime game can't be won by a team kicking a field goal on the first possession of overtime. Owners worry that this extra time could put too much physical stress on players.
Opinion: I think that both these should be put into place. New York is a perfect place for the Super Bowl. It is the biggest city in the US and a cold Super Bowl would bring back some history of the NFL. The new overtime rules should also be extended to the regular season. The current rules allow teams to win games simply by winning the coin flip. It subjects the winner of the game to chance. The new rules makes it so the winner truly has to outplay the other team.
