Pro Bowl back to Hawaii, not Super Bowl players

Indianapolis president Bill Polian was upset the NFL was making his Pro Bowl players fly in for the all-star game in Miami Gardens a day before their teammates because it messed with the team's schedule.

New Orleans had some concerns about it too but Polian was the loudest critic, although it wasn't that big of a deal and played no part in deciding the outcome of Super Bowl XLIV.

The participants in Super Bowl XLV won't have to worry about the issue.

With the Pro Bowl being moved back to Hawaii, the NFL will not have the Super Bowl players fly to Honolulu for introductions to the crowd.

It makes sense given the travel time involved but I would like to make a case for a Super Bowl being held in Hawaii in the future.

It would make for a nice balance if New York is granted the big game in the future.
