The NFL owners today voted on the 2019, 2020, and 2021 Super Bowls to determine where the games should be played.
Team owners were meeting in North Carolina and future Super Bowl sites were among the items being discussed.
The Atlanta Falcons have a new stadium now being constructed, with the $1 billion masterpiece expected to be done prior to the 2017 season.
The Super Bowl is headed back to Los Angeles. Next year’s Super Bowl will be in Houston, while the 2018 game will be in the Vikings’ new stadium in Minneapolis. The first two were in 1994 and 2000 at the Georgia Dome.
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was keen to get the game back, after hosting the New Orleans Saints’ 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts in 2010, and he is spending more than $400m redeveloping their stadium.
The Inglewood stadium, expected to cost $2.6-billion-plus, is slated to open in 2019, according to the L.A. Times.
Super Bowl-winning defensive end Charles “Bubba” Smith was suffering from the brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death in 2011, a report revealed on Tuesday. 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. “The Los Angeles region is built to host the Super Bowl”, said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Owners also approved Super Bowls for Atlanta, where a stadium is under construction, in 2019 and Florida in 2020. “We have had 10 Super Bowls and they have been successful”.
