This is not actually how it works. It's about the team's style of play, not where the team is from. The weather affects the game, particularly making it easier to run the ball instead of pass. Also, wearing a jersey from a cold weather team or playing a couple more games in the cold than a warm weather team plays does not affect your tolerance for the cold. The players on these teams aren't more likely to be from colder climates.
It does make the experience worse for the fans, but this is a good opportunity for NJ. Also, I don't like when things shut down because it's winter.
Most of the players on both Seattle and Denver hail from the South.
yep, the "overhead" like kickbacks, unions/mafia, etc...
This will be a sorry Superbowl. "I'm going to New Jersey in early February for vacation!" Sounds lovely. NOT.
Going to a cold-weather state in the winter is certainly not a dream vacation. But being NJ and NYC more than makes up for the weather.
It will also be the first true mass transit superbowl... making it a better experience for the week surrounding the game. I go to the superbowl every year that I can and getting around when there's a huge influx of people was always a PITA.

So the fans can take the complicated rail system from NYC to NJ (I've taken it before) or they can walk 10 blocks from the French Quarter to the Superdome.
Does "I'm going to Indianapolis in early February for vacation" sound any better?
Nope, but they were lauded as great sb hosts
But there is one aspect you are overlooking, Indy has a climate controlled dome!
The second thing you are overlooking was there was unseasonably warm weather in Indy that time period. It was in the 60's. If standard Indy weather would have been there, the outcome may have been drastically different.
Read this morning that Eric LeGrand the paralyzed football player from Rutgers was given 2 tickets to the Superbowl to see his beloved Broncos!
Though bittersweet as that is the last place he ever walked as the game was played at Met Life it warmed my heart.
