Should the Super Bowl be 5 quarters long?

I think yes.

Update:

Yes, I know the word quarter means 1/4th, I do not care.

  • If you had five periods of play, they wouldn't be called quarters which means four.

    5 quarters make either 5/4 or 1 1/4, an uneven fraction.

    How about three halves, or sixteen eighths, or how about one period of 6.36 minutes and one of 23.52 minutes and one of  17.31 minutes and the final period to continue for as long as the referee wants to, until he needs to visit the john ? 

    This answer is as logical as the question.

    No, it's long enough as a regular game.

    Why not make it two days long and whoever is leading after eight quarters wins.

    No way. It would make the game too long.

    I don't care that you don't care, you can't call them quarters if there are five of them.  They're fifths, or just 'periods'.  You want the SB to be five periods.  I'm assuming all still 15 minutes, and I'm assuming the rest of the league year would still be four.

    If I'm filling in the gaps of your proposal correctly, then it's a very dumb idea.  Teams are built to go 4 quarters.  Increasing the game length by 25% means more toll on the players.  You want larger rosters so that guys can rotate and stay fresh.  And since rosters weren't built that way, it would just distort the outcome.

    No, the playoffs and championship games should use the same rules as the regular season.

    No. The final game of the season should not have different rules.
