""We've spent a lot of time evolving our Pro Bowl, talking about how to make our Pro Bowl more attractive, both for our players participating but also our fans," Goodell said. "We spent a great deal of time talking about the objectives, and the objectives really are to celebrate and honor our incredible players, and second is to use our game as a global platform.""
""The plan is to hold the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday night, Feb. 3, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the venue that is hosting the Super Bowl experience fan fest. The largest ballroom holds 4,000 people, making it a more intimate event than in previous years, with a focus on television. It remains a flag football game between the AFC and NFC, though executive VP of international events Peter O'Reilly did acknowledge the format could become more internationally focused""
The NFL is moving the Pro Bowl Games to Super Bowl week, scheduling the flag football contest for Tuesday, Feb. 3 at San Francisco's Moscone Center. The event will occupy a 4,000-seat ballroom for a smaller, more intimate, television-focused presentation. The format remains a flag football game between the AFC and NFC, with potential future international emphasis ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Commissioner Roger Goodell emphasized celebrating players and using the game as a global platform. Owners unanimously approved players participating in the '28 Games while the NFL continues negotiating the agreement with the players' union. New coaches will replace Peyton and Eli Manning.
