What the Super Bowl Can learn from the NHL

The Super Bowl is a big sporting event that is played in many places around the United States. The Super Bowl can make small market areas become big within a weekend. However, the Super Bowl is not played at the home team's home field. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are played both at the higher seed's home rink and the lower team's home rink. Unlike the NFL Playoffs however, the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a 7 game series. The NFL Playoffs are played at home fields, but not the Super Bowl. The NFL should consider playing the Super Bowl in the higher seed's home field. This would cause a potential boom in the market for the hosting team in the Super Bowl. However, the downside to this is that it would be almost impossible if you are a fan of the other team. However, this can cause a big spike in the local economy of the host city and cause more tourists to visit the location. Josh Peter of USA Sports said, " Arizona, drawing from private and public funds, will spend about $30 million to host the 2015 Super Bowl, to be played Sunday in Glendale" Ariz" ( http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2015/01/25/super-bowl-host-cities-economic-impact/22324109/). Probably the biggest flaw in this system is that the NFL would not have that much time to prepare for the big game and would need a lot of time to set up the festivities. Leave comments below if the NFL should stay the way it is or should the higher seed get home field advantage in the Super Bowl.
