Miami is out of contention to host a Super Bowl for foreseeable future

It was recently announced that Miami no longer meets the requirements for hosting a Super Bowl. The city has hosted eleven, so what changed?

“The one thing that suffered is Miami hasn’t gotten a Super Bowl here, and we normally have one every five years,” Ross said, in comments initially reported by Brian Brandell of South Florida Business Journal (via Mike Oliva of DolphinsTalk.com).

“Miami is not really in line for one. It’s always exciting to have the Super Bowl but that was before we had all the other events. Miami has by far the best weather. It’s in their best interest to have one here but at this point they don’t believe we meet all the requirements and the demands.”

Miami last hosted a Super Bowl in 2020 and plans to host it again in the future.

“We are looking at how to make improvements,” Ross said. “I want to make the stadium always feel like a new stadium. We are looking at what the next phase will be and making the fan experience that much better.”

The most recent title game in Miami was Super Bowl LIV between the Chiefs and the 49ers. The roof has been a topic of conversation to shield NFL fans from the rain in Miami. This persisted throughout Super Bowl XLI, between the Colts and Bears.

The next three have been awarded to Los Angeles (2027), Atlanta (2028), and Las Vegas (2029). Nashville may also soon join the list after securing a brand-new stadium for the Titans. Miami is believed to be a destination to host a Super Bowl every five years, but it looks like we may have to wait a few more years to get it back in the mix.
