The Super Bowl is headed back to New Orleans for the 11th time and will make its fourth stop in Arizona.
NFL owners voted unanimously on both sites Wednesday at the league’s annual spring meeting in Atlanta
Lerentee McCray Jersey , which will host the 2019 Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The 2023 title game will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, while New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome will host in
2024.
Saints owner Gayle Benson, whose husband Tom Benson passed away in March
Dan Hampton Jersey , appreciated that the vote took only 60 seconds to complete. She attributed the quick tally to New Orleans’ unique culture.
”It’s different from any other city that we have around,” she said. ”We just have so many things to offer – the food, the culture, the hotels. We’ve got it
all. It should be (there) every year.”
This will be eighth time the game is held at the 43-year-old Superdome
Nick Vigil Jersey , more than any other stadium. Its most recent Super Bowl was in 2013, which is remembered for the power going out during the second
half , resulting in a 34-minute delay.
The retractable roof stadium in suburban Phoenix previously held the Super Bowl in 2008 and 2015 .
”We’re thrilled by the unanimous vote and we look forward to making this the most fan-friendly Super Bowl in the history of Super Bowls and bigger and better
than any Super Bowl,” Cardinals president Michael Bidwill said.
Both teams have major stadium renovations planned. Benson said the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will soon begin an overhaul. Bidwill work has already
begun on University of Phoenix Stadium.
”Yes
LeSean McCoy Jersey , we’ve already completed a number of renovations, but $100 million worth of renovations will be done by the Super Bowl by 2023,”
Bidwill told The Associated Press.
After this season’s game in Atlanta, the next three Super Bowls will be held at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium (2020)
James Bradberry Jersey , Raymond James Stadium in Tampa (2021) and the new Hollywood Park stadium in Los Angeles (2022).

Center John Sullivan has re-signed with the Los Angeles Rams, agreeing to a two-year contract.
The Rams announced the deal Friday.
Sullivan started 15 consecutive games in his first season with Los Angeles. He sat out the NFC West champions’ meaningless regular-season finale to rest
along with four fellow linemen.
The 32-year-old Notre Dame product spent his first eight NFL seasons in Minnesota. He played one year in Washington before signing with Los Angeles last
year.
Los Angeles’ offensive line will return intact after all five starters didn’t miss a game due to injury last season.
Along with Sullivan and standout left tackle Andrew Whitworth, the line includes right tackle Rob Havenstein and guards Rodger Saffold and Jamon
Brown.
