New York awarded 2014 Super Bowl

Average temps for that day are 37 Degrees F (about 3 C) and a lot of fuss was made about that. But, because of global warming, I'd say average temps should be up to about 60 by that time.

Is there a debate here or is it just an excuse for a bad global warming joke?

The latter; though I posit that the joke was at least mediocre and can't really be fairly characterized as "bad."

Can't they just heat up the arena, or would that cause too many emissions?

just think of the CO2 emissions emitted by travelling spectators!

one headline called it the "Chilly Bowl".

The NFL plays football in the cold all the time (in places far colder than the New York metropolitan area). The weather just isn't a big deal at all.

It's an outdoor stadium. How would you heat it?

Maybe they can heat up the arena with the spectators' emissions.

The same way you would heat an indoor stadium, only less efficiently.
