The NFL Pro Bowl is scheduled to return to Las Vegas in early 2023. The exact date of pro football\u2019s all-star game is still to be determined. But the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) said it \u201ccould be\u201d played on Feb. 5, 2023, seven days before the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas successfully hosted its first Pro Bowl this year at Allegiant Stadium. It had also been set to host the 2021 Pro Bowl, but that was canceled because of COVID-19 restrictions. The LVCVA has already approved footing the game’s $1.75 million hosting fee.<\/p>\n

Exciting Pro Bowl changes are ahead, and we look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks,\u201d<\/strong> an unnamed NFL spokesperson said in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Pro Bowl, which pits top players in the American Football Conference against those in the National Football Conference, was first held in 1939. Unlike most major North American sports leagues, which hold their all-star games midway through their regular seasons, the Pro Bowl is usually played post-season.<\/p>\n

Game Nearly Spiked<\/h2>\n

In May, NFL owners discussed the possibility of eliminating the football game entirely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the conclusion was that the game itself doesn\u2019t work,\u201d NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at the league\u2019s Spring League Meeting, \u201cand that we needed to find a different way to celebrate our players.\u201d<\/p>\n

At issue is the desire for players to avoid getting injured in a game that doesn\u2019t count toward team standings or player statistics. <\/strong>As a result, the Pro Bowl includes limited tackling and no kickoffs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being chosen to play in the Pro Bowl is one of the highest honors an NFL player can receive. Selection for it even figures into Pro Football Hall of Fame nominations. However, the Pro Bowl itself is a mostly forgettable game of two-handed touch that typically draws lower television ratings than regular-season games.<\/p>\n

A Host City Touchdown<\/h2>\n

Still, Pro Bowls are a touchdown for the cities who host them. The 2022 game, attended by more than 45,000 fans, brought in nearly 30,000 tourists and generated an estimated $54.7 million for the Las Vegas economy, according to the LVCVA.<\/p>\n

A week-long Pro Bowl lead-up also includes festivities allowing fans to meet their favorite players. These include youth football activities, and the fan-favorite skills challenge held at Las Vegas Ballpark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While addressing his problems with the game, Goodell added: \u201cWe talked an awful lot about some of the (extremely popular) events around the Pro Bowl \u2026 so those are things that we’ll probably build on.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
