Jerry Jones advocates building Jerry World – AT&T Stadium – to host major sporting events around the world, not just for the eight or nine Dallas Cowboys home games each year. His building hosted a Super Bowl in 2011 but weather problems in the Metroplex made that match a bad experience. Now, an NBA game between the Washington Wizards and the Detroit Pistons, has been affected by the weather in that area, which will further make his beautiful facility a less than ideal venue for the game. big.

The Pistons lost to the Dallas Mavericks 105-111 on Monday and are still stuck in Dallas. A blizzard caused thousands of flights to be canceled at both Dallas Fort-Worth and Dallas Love airports, and residents were advised to stay off the roads. With the Pistons unsafe to return home to Detroit, the NBA announced that their Wednesday night game against the Washington Wizards will be postponed.

This is not the first time an NBA game has been postponed due to weather. A Wizards game was postponed in 2016 due to a winter storm.

However, because of the potential for bad winter weather, it is not unusual for the NBA and even major college basketball to postpone games due to weather or other water issues. During the legendary 2010 Snowmageddon event that snowed up to 3 feet in the Washington Area, Scottie Reynolds take the subway from Villanova’s hotel to Georgetown’s courtyard. In 1994, fireworks caused a fire hose to submerge the Alamodome in water. The arena is ready for the game to end in 50 minutes.

Bad weather didn’t force a kickoff delay the night Aaron Rodgers won his only Super Bowl Championship in Arlington, Texas, but that week was a misery for everyone who was in town. Falling ice from the stadium roof injured construction workers. The weather affected events in town, and also customers who paid Super Bowl prices to be in the stadium for the game.

Temporary seats were put in place to sell more tickets for the game. Due to the icy conditions, installation of those seats was delayed. Work remained unfinished until match day, which did not allow the firefighters enough time to examine them. Those seats were deemed unsafe and 1,250 people had to be relocated. According to an NFL statement, 400 people were unable to fold their seats and were refunded three times the value.

A decade later, another ice storm forced the postponement of an NBA game 1,000 miles away. Of course, that delay is nothing compared to what people in northern and central Texas are dealing with right now. Hundreds of thousands of homes and other buildings lost power. That may recall some bad memories of what happened during the Texas power crisis in February 2021 when millions of people lost power during a severe winter storm.

Politics or climate?

Ask Jones why his building hasn’t been awarded the Super Bowl since 2011, and he’ll blame politics. In January 2022, he said on 105.3 The Fan that new stadiums are being built with the promise of a Super Bowl — the same way Dallas hosted its first Super Bowl two years after opening the new facility.

He’s right that Minneapolis, Atlanta, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and New York all host Super Bowls after opening new modern stadiums. However, the Super Bowl will take place in Arizona this year after hosting it there in 2015. The NFL has also replayed other hits from the past and returned to Miami, New Orleans, Tampa and even Houston.

Dallas made his shot to be part of the rotation and it missed badly. With February’s winter storms once again affecting transportation, it’s time to realize that the Metroplex shouldn’t be hosting a global event like the Super Bowl that requires large numbers of people to go there at the time. in year.

Plenty of other major events are still going on for the Jones building to host and hold its elite position in the public eye.
