They hosted as part of their stadium deal. It was guaranteed to them. The NFL didn't want to have it there because absolutely no one wants to vacation in Detroit. Same with Indy for the most part. They use that as bargaining chips so cities cough up funding for new stadiums.

Stop comparing NY to other cities. It is not the same. Its one of the largest cities in the world, and is a travel destination for millions of people a year. That is not a valid argument.

Have you ever actually experienced the Super Bowl? I'm not saying go to a game, but be in a city when they hosted it? If you could see the amount of people that just come to the city for the fun (if its a fun place) its unreal. NOLA had thousands of people that came in that weren't even attending the game. I can safely say that probably 50% of those folks would not travel to Minnesota in winter for that.
