The Super Bowl in New York or Philly?

I had an assignment for Event Planning class write a hypothetical proposal to have the Super Bowl in either New York or Philadelphia. I chose Philly for the mere reason that I thought New York is just way too populated and busy to have a week long affair. But the class was very mixed: pro-New York, anti-New York, pro-Philly, pro-Queens, etc. Some of the arguments that came up against New York were:

• Parking situation around Giants Stadium-they already have overflow for regular games
• The overload of people during Super Bowl week will displace too many New Yorkers
• Security concerns-people will be turned away by fear

Arguments for New York:

• New Yorkers are not strangers to big events and swarms of people coming in.
• Largest police force in the PLANET!
• It's New York-there is so much besides football to keep the VIPs busy

Arguments for Philly:

• Small city, more room
• Lincoln Field has tons of parking; public transportation feed right to the location
• Close to NJ (Atlantic City) and New York
• Old City and Penn's Landing ideal for entertaining
  

What do you think? If weather was NOT factor, would New York or Philadelphia be the more ideal for Super Bowl? *The super bowl will never be in the tri-state area or New England because of the weather in February.
