CARLSTADT, N.J. (AP) -As soon as NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the words New York and New Jersey, the celebration started in the Big Apple and Garden State.
The Super Bowl is coming to East Rutherford, N.J., and points east – like New York City.
NFL owners voted Tuesday to play 2014 Super Bowl in the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands Stadium in what may very well be the first cold weather championship for the world’s biggest football game.
The league made a special exception for the Giants and Jets to bid on the game, and supporters of both teams held their breath when Goodell made the announcement.
