Its on Sunday, why would you expect people to come in 5 days earlier? Majority probably would start coming on the weekend. Plus its in NJ, not NY.

When it's fashion week, I know that the airports will be busy on the first 2 days and the last 2 days of the 10 day event. The hotels raise their rates and are full - at $700 a night plus at the major hotels. And I'm busy all day and all night bringing people to the shows at Lincoln Center and then smaller shows at various venues throughout the city and then all of the label parties throughout the evening until about 2-3am. And this starts with Day 1.

So far for the Superbowl this week: nothing. They had a welcome party downtown on Monday and said they needed taxis for 3,000 people. There weren't 200 there. Last night they said they were expecting 5,000 at Pier 60, a big event space. There were more people bowling at the lanes next door.

I'm saying after all the hype that it brings in 400,000 people and generates half a billion in revenue for the host city has not panned out so far. Certainly not worth putting a dome on a stadium to get on the Superbowl host circuit like they've been talking about in the NY media.

I lived in San Diego when the Super Bowl was there. It was totally insane. The weather is taking its toll on the turnout.

This pleases me very much. I hate that the NJ giants & jets are called the ny giants etc. fuck New York. Maybe goodell will realize that it's time to rename the teams. People are lodging in nj and probably west as the PA border for cheap. Who would want to stay in New York for a 1000 a night. NYC is not even a football town. I thought it was until I went to real football towns.
I'm sure the weather isn't helping, but when you look at your itinerary & everything is in nj, fuck ny.

Yet the Superbowl, one of the largest and most watched sporting events on the planet is suffering over one cold game?

Come on.

Superbowl Sux this year, it's not just NYC it's even affecting here, usually there is a ton of promotion for pizza biz as it is the biggest day of the year for pizza biz, this year people aren't even doing normal promotions, let alone the usual take no prisoners race to win the huge piece of the Superbowl money pie that usually happens. Whoever decided to move this to Jersey must have worked on Obamacare lol.

Okay, so 30 degrees is bearable. It when you cross that threshold of 25 and below where things can get uncomfortable.
