Super Bowl LX will be played this year at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, but where will the big game be headed in the future?
Because it’s a high-profile and lucrative opportunity that requires major logistical planning, the NFL maps out its Super Bowl locales years in advance. Cities once bid on the event, but the league adjusted the process in 2018.
The NFL now selects a potential Super Bowl host and solicits an event proposal from the region that is voted on by team owners. There are minimum requirements such as stadium seating capacity (at least 70,000) and amenities, an average game day temperature of at least 50 degrees (if an outdoor venue) and hotel availability within an hour’s drive.
