Heading South For The Winter? Brazil Emerges As Candidate To Host '17 Pro Bowl

Future sites of the Pro Bowl will be discussed during this week's NFL owners meetings, and Brazil is emerging as a "viable candidate to host" the '17 event, according to a source cited by Alex Marvez of FOXSPORTS.com. Brazil would be the first non-U.S. site for the Pro Bowl, and it is attractive to the NFL because it has "drawn growing interest ... from a television viewership and participation standpoint" in the country. The NFL also thinks Brazil "could hold allure to participating players as an exotic locale and unique experience." The league is "exploring multiple cities for the 2017 Pro Bowl outside of Super Bowl host site Houston." The Pro Bowl next year returns to Honolulu (FOXSPORTS.com, 3/23).
