I don’t really care much about where the Super Bowl is in any given year until it’s almost time for the game, and that doesn’t change now.

Clearly, the only way to get a Super Bowl in your town is to ask the tax payers to shell out billions of bucks to build a new stadium.
“Super Bowl LV will mark the eighth time the Super Bowl is played in the Los Angeles region and the first time the game has been played in L.A. County since 1993, when Pasadena’s Rose Bowl hosted Super Bowl XXVII”.
Atlanta will be hosting its third Super Bowl ever, and its first since 2000, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Atlanta will host Super Bowl LIII in 2019 while Miami will stage Super Bowl LIV in 2020.
New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson said he believes the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which has hosted seven Super Bowls, will host another one one day, despite losing out to Atlanta in a bid for the 2019 game on Tuesday.
The Super Bowl will be in Atlanta in 2019, and in South Florida in 2020, the National Football League also announced. Super Bowl LII is slated for Minnesota’s under-construction U.S. Bank Stadium. Atlanta also plans to host the College Football Playoff championship game in 2018.
Miami will have its record-setting 11th Super Bowl following a $450 million stadium renovation.
The new downtown stadium undoubtedly trumps fears of another ice storm. Especially since the Rams will be moving from St. Louis to the City of Angels and they’re getting a new stadium by 2019. Fast forward to today, and Angelenos not only have their hometown team back, they’re also getting a Super Bowl. The area remains a popular venue because of its weather, ability to host big events and two major airports that help travel in and out of the city. With the Los Angeles Rams returning to LA the league had to feature their return to one of the biggest entertainment markets in the world.
“Los Angeles is built to host the Super Bowl”, Mayor Eric Garcetti said. “Now, at long last, we’re bringing it back where it belongs”.

“It’s going to be great for Miami, it’s great for the Miami Dolphins, and the only thing that could be better is when we’re playing in the game and winning it”, Ross said after the announcement.
