NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it official on the afternoon of Tuesday May 25, 2010 when he announced that Super Bowl XLVII in 2014 will be played in the new Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. The sports betting world was wondering when there would be another Ice Bowl, and now the answer has come.

It is unclear how the elements will affect NFL football betting picks for Super Bowl XLVIII, but the $1.6 billion stadium will definitely have all of the state-of-the-art facilities that the Super Bowl will need.

Meadowlands Stadium is the home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets, and it is the first time that a northern stadium without a dome will host the biggest game of the season. With Super Bowl XLIV coming in as one of the most-watched television programs of all time, it is apparent that the NFL is ready to use the Super Bowl to showcase all of the newer stadiums in the league.

The NFL football picks experts know that the lowest recorded temperature for an outdoor Super Bowl was 39 degrees when New Orleans hosted Super Bowl VI. There is a very good chance that when the Super Bowl visits New Jersey, the low temperature record could be broken.
