Why isn't the Superbowl played in cold weather states?

If you look at it the most die-hard fans are from the north, particularly the Northeast. Philly, New York, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Washington, Cleveland, Cincinatti, Baltimore, etc etc have the most die-hard (no, not bandwagon, but die hard) fans in the NFL, but they make the fans travel to warm weather climates. On top of that, most of the competitive teams play in the cold weather states, and FOOTBALL IS PLAYED IN THE COLD WEATHER SEASONS. So why is it that the NFL feels compelled to either put the game inside or in warm weather climates? I truly believe that if you played the Super Bowl up north it would give the game a more realistic feel, and on top of that since almost all of the teams that actually play and win the superbowl are cold weather teams. 10 of the last 13 superbowl champions have been cold weather teams, and 8 of the last 13 superbowl losers have been from cold weather states. Don't you think it's about time they realize that the majority of the NFL's success is due to the Northern teams and give us some love with a COLD super bowl? I highly doubt their sales would drop, and only the TRUE fans would go if it was in cold weather, which would again help with the image of football making it truly a fans' sport.

    It's all about money and tourism. A warm-climate city will always attract more tourists than a cold-climate city. Nice weather means no worries, creating a 24-7 party atmosphere.
