Blimp Grounded for Super Bowl

Monday, 23 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Super Bowl XLVIII at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey will be missing a staple of major sporting events; the blimp. The Newark Star Ledger says the threat of snow for the cold weather Super Bowl is too much of a risk for the massive, lighter than air, ships. Even Met Life, which has two of the blimps operating in the U.S. says it won’t be flying over the stadium for the big game.
