INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Unlike the NFL and its players, the Super Bowl host committee can’t afford to stop the clock.
Indianapolis Super Bowl committee chairman Mark Miles says he still expects the game to be played Feb. 5, as scheduled, and that time is running short.
On Friday, the NFL and the players’ union extended the collective bargaining agreement for the second time in two days. The current labor agreement is now due to expire next Friday.
If the Super Bowl — Indianapolis’ first — is played, the city could get a $400 million economic boost. If it’s canceled, estimates suggest the city could lose $200 million.
