Flushing the Pro Bowl ?

Pro Bowl Weekend

This might be a minor subject, but since there isn’t a lot to talk about now. I thought it could be a subject to discuss. It seems like the NFL could be possibly cutting out the Pro Bowl, so my suggestion instead would be not to completely eliminate it but try a change. Since moved to the week before the Super Bowl it would still be nice to have a gap filler before the big game. I think instead of having a game, they should go to a Challenge /Skills weekend. Yes still have your Pro Bowlers but in a award ceremony instead. My suggested weekend would also move to the same city as the Super Bowl. The weekend could have a schedule like this.

Friday Night. Some type of Flag Football game (Vets, Retired, Celebs, etc.)

Player and Coach meet and greet/ Fan appreciation events.

Saturday: A day scheduled of skills competitions (for each position)

Player and Coach meet and greet/ Fan appreciation events.

Sunday: Pro Bowl Award / ceremony

When I as kid there was skills competition, I thought it was great. Some of this might seem cheesy or childish, but I think it could help NLF and fan relations (not saying its hurt) would bring revenue for NFL as well as hosting City. It’s obvious from last year that the game it’s self is a joke. And the players, the NFL and fans noticed it. But before they kill try to reboot first. Also some fans can’t afford the Super Bowl Tickets or Tickets to Hawaii. And this could give them a great NFL experience.

Does anyone else think this could work?

Any other suggestions?
