Atlanta awarded 2019 Super Bowl

New buildings get Super Bowls, and Atlanta is the latest beneficiary.
NFL owners just voted at their meeting in Charlotte to award Super Bowl LIII to the new Falcons stadium, the latest example of new facility being rewarded with the biggest game of the year.
Atlanta and New Orleans were the finalists for the game, with Miami and Tampa eliminated from the process on earlier ballots.
New Orleans had limited its bid to just the 2019 game (other cities were also bidding for 2020 and 2021), meaning it will be at least 2022 before they’re back in the mix for the game.
Atlanta previously hosted Super Bowl XXXIII, which featured an incredible game between the Titans and Rams, but also an ice storm that crippled the area in advance.
So what will the butthole look like on the logo?

Also hearing that L.A. is only bidding on 2021. Makes sense.

No surprise. New Stadiums will always get a SB these days.
2019 ATL
2021 LA
2022 Las Vegas if they get the Raiders
would all be pretty much locks.
Anyone else getting a new stadium that could bid on 2020?

After Atlanta fails miserably, the NFL will come running back to New Orleans. Some lessons need to be learned the hard way

NOLA 2020 ride or die

Lol I'm sure the NFL was thrilled with the 30 minute power outage in New Orleans' last Super Bowl.

NOLA was only bidding on 2019.

And they can only bid again for the 2022 SB.
That's not a real year.

Does not change the fact that New Orleans is a superior site for sporting events. 2nd Super Bowl in your city's history. Congrats I guess

Atlanta will do fine (as a city). Their team, not so much.

2020 is going to Miami, which is doing a major 500 million dollar renovation
