How the NFL Selects Super Bowl Host Cities

"The NFL evaluates potential Super Bowl hosts based on multiple criteria including stadium quality, hotel capacity within a reasonable distance, transportation infrastructure, and the region's ability to accommodate the massive influx of visitors during Super Bowl week. Cities must demonstrate they can handle not just the game, but all the associated events, media requirements, and fan experiences that make up the modern Super Bowl celebration."
— Robert J. Wood, PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Western Australia and founder of Topend Sports with 25+ years of sports science research

Key Selection Criteria

Selection Factors At A Glance

Stadium Requirements: Minimum 70,000 capacity | Hotels: 35% of inventory within 60 minutes | Airport: Major hub required

Weather Preference: Average February temp above 50°F or domed stadium | Practice Facilities: Two NFL-quality venues needed

  1. Stadium Quality: Must have modern amenities, sufficient luxury suites, state-of-the-art technology, and meet NFL specifications for field dimensions and media facilities.
  2. Climate Considerations: The NFL strongly prefers warm-weather cities or those with domed stadiums. Cities with average February temperatures below 50°F without a dome face an uphill battle.
  3. Hotel Capacity: The host region must have a sufficient number of hotel rooms available within a one-hour drive of the stadium.
  4. Transportation Infrastructure: Cities require a major airport, efficient highway systems, and ideally, public transportation options to accommodate the movement of thousands of fans.
  5. Event Space: Beyond the stadium, cities must provide venues for the NFL Experience, media day, team hotels, and numerous corporate events.
  6. Security Capabilities: Post - 9/11, the ability to provide comprehensive security for a National Special Security Event is crucial.

The Bidding Process

Cities interested in hosting submit detailed bid proposals years in advance. The NFL's owners vote on host cities, typically awarding games 3-5 years in advance. The process has evolved from backroom deals to a more transparent and competitive system where cities must demonstrate their capabilities and commitment.

Pro Tip: Cities often spend millions on stadium upgrades and infrastructure improvements to win Super Bowl bids. The economic impact is estimated at $200-500 million for the host region.
