Sunday's all-star game ended a successful 30-year run at Aloha Stadium, with a sellout every year. The Pro Bowl will be played in Miami next year, a week before the Super Bowl. The NFL, which has been looking to increase the profile of the game, hopes to bring the game back to Hawaii.



If so that is sorta dumb. Why would the coaches of the Super Bowl participants have any of their players playing in that useless game. I wonder if the article mean't to read after the Super Bowl?

Nope, the story is correct. It'll be in the "slack" week before the SB and players from the SB teams will not participate.

Why in the hell did they go and do that? Most of the time the best players are on the 2 teams in the Super Bowl.
