Could the Pro Bowl be on the move in 2015?
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported that the NFL is “strongly considering” taking the annual game to Glendale, Ariz., from Honolulu next year to help raise its profile and generate more revenue.
The Pro Bowl is normally played a week before the Super Bowl, which is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2015, in University of Phoenix Stadium. That would leave Jan. 25, 2015, as a possible date for the NFL’s annual all-star game.
In the past 35 years, the Pro Bowl has been played outside of Hawaii only once — in Miami in 2009.
The most recent Pro Bowl was staged with a new format that included a draft of the players selected for the game rather than dividing the rosters by conference affiliations.
