Goodell, players hope to
return Pro Bowl to Hawaii
KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AIM - “Aloha” means many things in
Hawaiian, including farewell and hello. It's a fitting word these
days for the Pro Bowl.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday he was hope-
ful the league and the state will reach a deal possibly by next week
to bring the all-star game back to Hawaii.
“The reality is. we’d like to be back here on a rotational basis,”
Goodell said. "It makes sense for us. The Pro Bowl has got a great
history here and tradition. We know how much it means to this
community, so we’d like to be here.
Today’s Pro Bowl will end a 30-year run in Honolulu. The goto
game will be played in Miami, a week before the Super Bowl. The
NFL and Hawaii Tourism Authority are in contract negotiations
for future dates.
The state pays the NFL millions to host the game, which brings
thousands of tourists to the islands and showcases I Iawaii's trop-
ical scenery and sunburned fans to winter-weary TV audiences
on the mainland.
Goodell said rotating locations and playing the game a week
before the Super Bowl are designed to bring greater exposure to
the game and players.
The scheduling move, however, essentially eliminates any play-
ers from teams in the championship.
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, coming oft a thrilling
Super Bowl victory, prefers it the way it is.
“It’s really awesome to have everything culminate here in
Hawaii,” he said. "I know the NFL is looking to have that big bang
at the end, hut as a player, this is a big bang. Everybody wants to
he the Super Bowl winner and come and he with their peers in
Hawaii.”
Several other Pro Bowl players have expressed concern about
moving the game away from the islands, saying it wouldn’t he as
special, or even a reward spending a week in cities they visit dur-
ing the regular season.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray 1 .evvis last week went as far as
saying he would “probably not" play next vear’s game in Miami if
lie’s selected because it wouldn't he a true vacation.
