Super Bowl to be Played On Top of Bus
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced today that Super Bowl XLIV will be played on top of a converted school bus instead of Dolphin Stadium in Miami, as originally planned. According to Goodell, the annual championship game has become boring and predictable and he is concerned about a decline in viewership.“I knew next year’s game had to be fundamentally different than previous years, and I don’t mean the halftime entertainment,” he said while standing at a urinal on Wednesday. “I was in here the other day and the idea just hit me. Imagine the number of tickets we’ll be able to sell if we don’t have a stadium to confine us! Playing the championship game on top of a moving vehicle will allow the NFL to bring the excitement to the fans and right into the tailgate lots.” Goodell went on to say that the playing surface will be 98% smaller than a standard NFL field but he did not seem at all concerned that many players and coaches could be injured or killed during the course of a game.
