Because planning a SB isnt complicated enough as is, lets put it on a boat.

What is the point? Except for all that US army showoff crap that comes across total akward to all the international audience anyway?

What about the audience that wants to go to the game?

Our team is winning at the half? Great lets start the engines.

Ok, y'all need to read the article. It says, "a game" would be played on the carrier, not the SB. It's in relation to the festivities surrounding the SB.

Nice job of the OP twisting the title.

I don't think I twisted anything.. I read it to mean the Super Bowl.. It says game wouldn't be in the Dolphins stadium, but on a carrier.. How many football games happen during Super Bowl week? Only one that I'm aware of.. If anything the article is misleading then.. We all know this is a stupid plan anyway..

I think you need to re-read it, it's only about the SB. They are discussing Miami's SB bid and what they are taking to the meeting end of May. With the state voting down the tax to renovate the stadium they put this in their proposal to make it more interesting. Because Miami isn't getting another SB til they get a new stadium or renovate their current one. At the end it even discusses when the NFL will announce who gets the 2016 and 2017 SBs.

Maybe before you go accusing someone of twisting things, you read the whole article, watch the video, and then do it again. Otherwise you could come off a little bit of an.....well I'll leave it there, don't want my words to be twisted or come of misleading or something.

Go Cards!

That article was worded poorly - but it was "a game" ..... that game is not the SB, but a celebrity game, like the DTV game that is played now

The downtown plan transforms Miami’s commercial core into an NFL street festival, with a Ferris wheel overlooking Biscayne Bay. Barreto said that, despite cutbacks in federal spending, the Navy has agreed to moor an aircraft carrier in the inlet by the American Airlines Arena and cover the decks with artificial grass for celebrity football games.

Good find....that's a lot better article. I had no clue how they were gonna pull it off or felt it was a good offer to submit...but that explains it better. Shows how a writer can screw things up by not putting them in the proper context and force the reader to imply from that.
