Titolo: [NFL] - Il Superbowl resta a New Orleans

L'NFL ha annunciato ieri sera che il Superbowl resta a New Orleans, e viene
spostato di una settimana. Verra' quindi giocato il 3 Febbraio.
L'ostacolo piu' grosso era rappresentato dalla Convention dei venditori di auto
(una delle piu' grosse del paese) che si sarebbe dovuta tenere il weekend del 3
febbraio, creando ovvi problemi all'eventuale concomitanza dei due eventi.
Da buoni venditori, i rappresentanti della NADA se ne sono usciti dalla
trattativa con un bel pacco di 7.5 milioni di dollari, di fronte ai quali sono
cadute tutte le resistense ad anticipare la convention di una settimana.
Ecco il testo  integrale della notizia:
SUPER BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS MOVED TO FEBRUARY 3;
NFL PLAYOFF FORMAT REMAINS INTACT
 
Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans will be played on February 3rd, allowing the
NFL to keep its 12-team playoff format intact this season, the NFL announced
today.
Moving Super Bowl Sunday back one week was made possible when the NFL and the
National Automobile Dealers Association reached an agreement today to swap
weekends for their respective events in New Orleans.
The NADA annual convention originally scheduled for February 2-5 in New Orleans
now will be held January 26-29. The Super Bowl will move from Sunday, January
27 to Sunday, February 3.
The NFL will pay the NADA $7.5 million to cover additional expenses and losses
resulting from the switch. The agreement also includes an NFL Charities grant
that will match NADA contributions to the September 11th relief efforts up to
$500,000.
“We deeply appreciate the willingness of Phil Brady and America’s new car
dealers to work with us,” NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said. “Thanks to
their leadership, our fans and teams can look forward to a full complement of
playoffs and to a great Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans. We trust that the
NADA will enjoy a super convention as well.”
Commissioner Tagliabue also praised the efforts of New Orleans Saints owner Tom
Benson, the Louisiana Congressional delegation, and the New Orleans
authorities.
“Tom Benson and the Louisiana leadership were instrumental in helping us reach
our goals of keeping the playoffs intact and fulfilling our Super Bowl
commitment to New Orleans,” Commissioner Tagliabue said.
The NFL regular season will conclude the weekend of January 5-7, which
originally was scheduled as the first weekend of the playoffs. Following the
events of September 11, the NFL postponed its Week 2 games and re-scheduled
them for that first weekend in January.
The playoffs now will begin January 12-13 with Wild Card Weekend. The AFC and
NFC Divisional Playoffs will be January 19-20, the Conference Championship
Games on January 27, and the Super Bowl on February 3.
