hmmm.......Detroit and NY/NJ hosted Super Bowls. Also, I went to the Super Bowl in LA, my luxury hotel was an hour drive to S0-Fi stadium and 35 to 40 minutes to downtown LA. SO-FI like the NJ stadium has very little parking. You have to park your car 30 minutes away and then take a bus to and from the stadium. The bus ride each way was 1 hour.

Based on my experience, Cincy could use Dayton and Lexington for hotels. Yes, not close, but try getting around LA or NY/NJ during Super Bowl week, it is a traffic nightmare.

My point is the NFL has has Super Bowls in cold cities, NCAA has had tournaments in domed stadiums that overall lodging and parking had major issues.

To say no way Cincy would never be awarded a Super Bowl if they had a domed stadium, is a guess. Bengals have been in existence since 1969, so to be awarded 1 Super Bowl in 55+ years does not seem unreasonable.
