If it snows so much on Super Bowl Sunday that it becomes impossible to attend the game at New Jersey’s open-air Metlife Stadium despite an all-out effort that includes monster snow-melting trucks, it’s possible that the Super Bowl could be played a day earlier, a day later, or even a week later if necessary. There is almost no chance of this occurring, but stranger things have happened in the annals of sports, like when Randy Johnson hit that bird, and … that’s it.
