Don't be so negative, Warbler; your team could be the Buffalo Bills.

Whatever happened to holding the Super Bowl in nice, temperate-climate cities where the murder rate doesn't equal the birth rate?

Forget temperate...

I'm tempted to start a petition for Super Bowl 50 to be played in the most famous football venue on Earth.
Lambeau.

Then they can do a quick pass through some of the other cold-weather cities (without domes).
Cleveland, Chicago, ummmm.
Who else doesn't have a dome?

When it starts to get cold, and the snow starts to blow, so many people talk about how its the perfect weather for football.
If that was true, wouldn't it be great to play the biggest game of the year in the fricken cold!!!

I'd love it. Cold weather Super Bowl, that is.

As for Lambeau being the most famous football venue on Earth... well, that's really open to argument. Most people in the world have no idea where the hell the Packers play (save for saying "Packer Park" or "Packer Field" or, simply, "Green Bay"). And many who do, can't even pronounce it or remember the name properly. Down here, I've heard it called Lambert so many times it's not even funny. And we're pretty close to you guys so you'd think we'd get it right. For something to be the most famous on Earth requires remembering the name and saying it properly.

The most famous football venue on Earth, sorry starkiller, is the Rose Bowl. No questions asked. Pasadena, baby. After that, I'm not sure. None of them hold quite the esteem of some of the most famous baseball parks in the world like say, Ebbets, Wrigley, Yankee, Fenway, etc. Much more recognizable. And if you say "what's Ebbets?" I'm gonna smack you and take away your right to be a sports fan.

I would say that the most famous sports venue (regardless of sport) on Earth is likely to be Madison Square Garden. Again, arguable. But a helluva lot more likely than Lambeau as the most famous football venue. But, then again, since the Rose Bowl hosts a lot more events than just football, it could be argued as the most famous as well.

Most famous pro football venue??

As for saying "What's Ebbet's", I wouldn't dare.

Watch the Danny Kaye film Wonderman. In the deli, he starts asking for a pint of Prospect Park and the owner jokes that they are all out of Prospect Park, but he could get a quart of Ebbet's Field if he wants it.

I cannot disagree with Madison Square Garden.
...
Although, technically, you could consider the Colliseum in Rome a sports venue. That could be more famous.

Well, you didn't say "pro" and I still wouldn't agree. To be honest, I don't know if any pro football venues classify as world famous since football as we know it is not world famous. But I would say Candlestick Park is more well known (albeit no longer in existence) than Lambeau. How about the Meadowlands? Granted most people still think it's actually in New York proper, they do know it and can pronounce it without a problem and tell you who plays there.

Wonderman, eh? Will have to check that out.

Danny Kaye plays 2 roles as twins:
1. A nightclub dancer/singer that witnesses a murder and ends up dead. His body gets dumped in a lake at Prospect Park.
2. A nerdy bookworm who is mysteriously drawn to Prospect Park during a trip to the deli (Pint of Prospect Park), where he meets the ghost of his brother.

Kaye does some split-second transitions from one personality to the other when the "ghost" inhabits the nerd's body, and its the kind of thing only Kaye could do.

Candlestick being for famous than Lambeau. Come on Lambeai is legendary. Its where the Ice Bowl was played. And Bossk why no meantion of Soldier Field? But (IMHO) the most famous football field is Notre Dame Stadium.

To me, the Ice Bowl is famous, yes. But I didn't know where it was played nor did I care. Until you just mentioned it. I really never thought about it before now.

Outside of sports enthusiasts, though, I really think Lambeau is not that recognizable. People know other stadiums far more readily than Lambeau. We are sports nuts. It is second nature to us to know it. But to be "world famous" requires recognition outside of just us fanatics. That in mind, Lambeau does not measure up IMHO.
