Cheering On Poker? In following in the footsteps of the NFL, one online casino has decided to take its 2014 Poker Championship tournament off the Internet, and into a cold weather stadium. Online Poker Website will be holding its top tournament at the new stadium of the New York Giants and New York Jets.

"At first, it seemed ridiculous to hold a poker tournament outside in a stadium in the middle of winter," said Online Poker Website Manager Stan Greenly. "But then, we figured, if the NFL is making such a stupid decision to put the Super Bowl in a Northern state, they must think it will be profitable, so we should try it as well."

The logistics have not been worked out as far as how the tournament will be carried out. There are concerns over snow falling on the tables, and winds carrying away community cards. Even witrh the obvious hazzards, Greenly believes the event will be a success.

"Who wouldn't want to bundle up in seven layers of clothes and go play poker in below freezing temperatures. Our bigger concern is getting people to buy into the idea of traveling on a vacation to New Jersey."

Other sports that are looking into following the NFL's lead are ping pong, golf, and beach volleyball. The beach volleyball idea seems the most far-fetched, so there is a greater probability that the powers-to-be in the sport will bring their top tournament to the Jersey Shore in February.

When asked about the prospects of playing an outdoor poker tournament in the heart of Winter, one popular poker pro who wished to remain anonymous proclaimed, "I just hope it doesn't interfere with the Super Bowl, because that is a prime gambling day for me already."
