Reply to comment by Shrewlord in As a resident of Philadelphia that doesn't care about football, convince me why I should care? by Shrewlord

Philadelphians harass visiting fans of opposing teams, not visiting fans of Philadelphia teams. Since the Super Bowl isn’t being played in Philadelphia, the former should not be a problem. Agee that this might reduce the national spotlight, but there still is some buzz for the city whenever a local team is in a national championship.

So you don't want all potential tourists to the city? You only want a fraction of tourists with some weird sports tie to Philadelphia. That makes no sense. Visting fans money rooting for the other team is just as good to Philadelphia businesses as anyone else's

Oops sorry I thought you were asking about the Super Bowl specifically, but I see that you were asking about football more broadly. My bad, you’re right.

No the superbowl is weirdly not played in any of the teams home cities which is mind boggling.
