As a three-time Super Bowl champion, Michael Irvin knows what a championship atmosphere is supposed to feel like. But when it came to Super Bowl LX in San Francisco, the Cowboys legend didn’t mince words, delivering a brutal takedown that ended with a demand for the NFL to take action.

“This was a horrible Super Bowl,” he said on his official YouTube channel. “In all the years of going to a Super Bowl, this was the worst. It was blah in the city. It just wasn’t jumping. The people, blah. The buildings out here looked blah. When you go into an event, it was blah.”

Despite all the criticism, it was expected that it would die down after the event wrapped up, but it clearly didn’t. Irvin talked about the city, blockage in the roads, the atmosphere, and the game itself, claiming that the performance of both teams matched the buildup to the event.

“I’m thinking there should be so much money out here because the tech is out here, but it all looked so blah… I couldn’t wait until this moment came to tell you DAMN! I believe this is the worst Super Bowl I have ever gone to,” he added.

His words carry some weight because he’s been a part of some intense matchups against the 49ers in the NFC Championship games during his time. When he was done criticizing the city’s arrangements and atmosphere, he took shots at the quality of play between the Patriots and Seahawks, saying that it was “not a good game.”

To be fair, despite the 29-13 scoreline, the game looked pretty one-sided right from the beginning, with the Seahawks taking a 12-point lead by halftime. The Patriots racked up most of their points when the game was already over, so Irvin’s frustration doesn’t stem from thin air.

Michael Irvin makes a demand to the NFL

Irvin was inducted into the Hall of Fame 19 years ago and has won three Super Bowls over the course of his career. Despite his multiple Super Bowl appearances, he has never made a demand like this before after witnessing a Super Bowl in Santa Clara.

“This was a horrible Super Bowl,” Irvin said. “They should never ever, ever, ever bring the Super Bowl back to San Francisco.” “I hope the people of San Fran don’t hate me for it, because I’ve had great times here. But this, no more. You cannot bring the Super Bowl back here anymore,” he added.

Of course, he noted that if the 49ers have earned a place in the conference games, he’d be “OK” with the games being held there. But when it comes to the Super Bowl, he wants the NFL to stay far from San Francisco. It is surprising considering the fact that Levi’s Stadium is one of the most technologically advanced in the world, and recently underwent a $200 million makeover.

Despite the efforts, it wasn’t enough to impress Michael Irvin and others. In fact, Bad Bunny’s performance, one of the most controversial halftime shows ever, was not something criticized by the former Cowboys wide receiver. He liked the fact that he sang from his heart, but failed to say anything positive about the Super Bowl.

All the attention will soon turn to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the home field for the Rams and Chargers, and the host of Super Bowl LVI. While the NFL looks ahead to Los Angeles, Irvin’s scathing review leaves a lingering question: has the Super Bowl experience lost the very soul that legends like him once cherished?
