The league had previously announced that the championship game would be held in Houston next year and in Minneapolis in 2018.
The last time the Super Bowl was in played in Atlanta, in 2000, the region was devastated by an ice storm that wreaked so much havoc on the week of Super festivities. New Orleans and Tampa Bay, the other cities that were considered, have not undertaken any major stadium projects.
Miami already has hosted 10 Super Bowls, so folks in South Florida are no strangers to the event. “[Rams owner] Stan Kroenke’s vision for the Rams stadium and the surrounding campus makes Inglewood an ideal venue for staging the Super Bowl of the future, and we look forward to inviting the nation and the world to L.A. for an historic fan experience”.
Kroenke is moving the team back to Los Angeles after two decades in St. Louis.
The NFL had made it clear that without renovations to the then-named Sun Life Stadium, Miami not only lost its spot in the Super Bowl rotation, it wouldn’t get any Super Bowls, period.
Atlanta will host the 2019 Super Bowl in their newly-built dome, which is called Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ross expects to gain some of that money back by hosting big events such as the Super Bowl.
The Miami area will move ahead of New Orleans, which has hosted 10 Super Bowls, when it stages its first title showdown since 2010. The video also featured an ensemble cast of actors-including the likes of Rob Lowe, Owen Wilson, and Robert Downey Jr.-who rooted for L.A.to become a host city.
“We feel like downtown Atlanta is very unique and the stadium is unique”, Blank said.
