KAPALUA, Hawaii - The 2010 Super Bowl could be approved for New York at the NFL owners meetings this week. Sort of.

Several team owners said Sunday they would look favorably on placing the championship game in New York for the first time. But it's all still a big uncertainty because the city would need to have an indoor stadium.

Considering what a political football the project for Manhattan's West Side has become, construction of such a home for the Jets is very problematic.

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue supports staging a Super Bowl in New York and the NFL's Super Bowl committee unanimously agreed. The league will hold its third cold-weather Super Bowl next February in Detroit - indoors, of course, in Ford Field. Never has the Big Apple had a bigger chance at snaring the host's role.

The Jets will make a presentation to all 32 owners either Monday or Tuesday for conditional approval of the 2010 Super Bowl in New York.

"The Jets submitted the resolution, contingent on the West Side stadium being built and ready for the 2010 Super Bowl," league spokesman Greg Aiello said.

Among the obstacles to getting approval could be the fact the team won't play in the stadium until the 2009 season. NFL rules require a stadium to have been in use for two years before it hosts a Super Bowl, something Houston complied with in 2004 and Detroit will have done for next year. The Jets would not have done so.
