Leaked document reveals what the National Football League requires of a Super Bowl host city

Not mentioned is 1,000 brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass ...

* two “top quality” bowling lanes and three “top quality” 18-hole golf courses in near proximity to the host venue.

* team hotels subscribe to the NFL Network for at least one year leading up to the Super Bowl and that the league be given priority over all other ice and snow project removal outside of “those that directly threaten life or public safety.”

* full tax exemption from the city, state and local taxes on tickets sold to the game and the events leading up to it.

* If cellphone strength at the team hotels isn’t strong enough, the host committee “will be responsible [for erecting] a sufficient number of portable cellular towers.”

* The league has the option to install ATMs at the stadium that accept NFL preferred credit and debit cards, and the option to cover up ATMs that don’t accept those preferred cards.

* The host city will pay all travel and expenses for a “familiarization trip” for the league to inspect the region ahead of the Super Bowl.

* Local media is also asked to provide “significant advertising and promotional time” — for free, of course — in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
