Pro Bowl 2010 Date Start A Week Before Super Bowl

By hoif | January 31, 2010

Pro Bowl 2010 date will be start at Sunday, January 31. This affirmation means this game will start a week earlier the Super Bowl XLIV. However, both games will be stage in Dolphin Stadium, the NFL announced Tuesday.

Responded about decision to choose the date, Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner told, “We’re taking alternatives to strengthen the Pro Bowl. We’ll go along to work with the players to make it a great event and will evaluate this conception after the 2010 Pro Bowl.”

This pro bowl time and site of Pro Bowl games after 2010 will be ascertained at a later date and will let in playing the game on a circumvolving basis in Honolulu, the NFL declared.

The current AFC-NFC Pro Bowl format, which started in 1971, rotation every year between host sites until 1980 as it moved to Honolulu. The 2010 game also won’t be South Florida’s first Pro Bowl: the 1975 game took place in Miami’s Orange Bowl. The game has been held in Tampa, Seattle, Dallas, Kansas City, New Orleans and Los Angeles on three occassions.

It’s not a new notion to have the game arose to take place between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.

The NFL has talked over it several times in late years, and Goodell told the Associated Press last month that having the game precede the Super Bowl would avoid a “somewhat anticlimactic” ending to the season.

The maiden to experimentation with the Pro Bowl time schedule and placement was discussed across the past two years with NFL club owners, the NFL Players Association, the NFL Player Advisory Council, and other players, and it received wide player and club support.

“Moving the Pro Bowl 2010 date to Sunday prior to the Super Bowl can add even more excitement to Super Bowl week, one of the most anticipated weeks of the year,” said Frank Supovitz, the NFL’s senior vice president of events. “Taking the Pro Bowl to new locations can showcase our top players to more fans around the country. We are also in discussions with key leaders in Hawaii to continue our partnership with the State of Hawaii, which has embraced the Pro Bowl for 30 years.”

Likewise the Pro Bowl’s annual ticket subscribers, tickets to the 2010 Pro Bowl at Dolphin Stadium will be made available to Dolphins season ticket holders, as well as to sports fans nationwide. Pro Bowl annual ticket subscribers in Hawaii will maintain their account status for any future games at Aloha Stadium.

The 2009 Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 8, and will be televised on NBC at 4:30 p.m. ET.
