2011 Pro Bowl to be played before Super Bowl XLV

Football Betting Lines

03/02/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Football League announced on Tuesday that the 2011 Pro Bowl, which is to return to Honolulu after a one- year absence, will be once again played the week before the Super Bowl.

The decision to hold the game, which features the NFL's best players, the week before Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas was made easier after ratings for the 2010 game were the best since 2000.

"Playing the Pro Bowl before the Super Bowl generated more excitement and interest in the event and also kicked off Super Bowl week in an innovative new way," said league senior vice president of events Frank Supovitz. "We are pleased to return to the State of Hawaii, which has embraced the Pro Bowl for 30 years.

The contest will return to Aloha Stadium in Honolulu for both 2011 and 2012. The NFL had announced major changes to their annual All-Star event last season, moving the 2010 Pro Bowl to Miami and playing it one week prior to the Super Bowl.

The Pro Bowl had been played one week after the championship game and was hosted by Honolulu from 1980 through 2009. Texas last hosted a Pro Bowl in 1973, at the then-new Texas Stadium in Irving.
