re: 2018 Super Bowl...who gets it?

I think when everything factors into it you can certainly make a case for it being the best place to host a Super Bowl.


Weather
Proximity to Hotels and the necessary amount of hotels needed
Lively and fun city
Great restaurants
Tourist friendly - the city is built on this


Miami is another great host, but they don't have the proximity to everything that New Orleans does

Chicago has the proximity to everything, but lacks the weather

Seattle is a fantastic city to be a host, but doesn't meant the hotel requirements


I'm not saying New Orleans is the best city in he country or anything like that, although it is my favorite. I'm saying with all things considered, it's the perfect mix of everything needed to host a major sporting event.
