Super Bowl In Chicago? Rahm Asks NHL To Consider Soldier Field

Thursday, May 31, 2012 Super Bowl In Chicago? Rahm Asks NHL To Consider Soldier Field Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and pitched Chicago's Soldier Field as a Super Bowl host. "Obviously, they're gonna have their first [cold weather] Super Bowl in another city. We'll see how that goes," Emanuel said Thursday, referencing the New York area's hosting of the 2014 game, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "But we talked about why [not] Chicago? Just two weeks ago [we] had a bunch of world leaders here. Sixth-largest NATO summit. And if we can do that, it would be an appropriate place to have a Super Bowl," the mayor continued.
