The Big Easy, Naptown or the Twin Cities.
That's the choice facing NFL owners when they vote Tuesday on the site of the 2018 Super Bowl, choosing among New Orleans, Indianapolis and Minneapolis.
Each city has hosted the big game, albeit just once for Indy and Minny. New Orleans has staged 10 Super Bowls, tied with South Florida for the most.
Most recently, the 2013 game was delayed 38 minutes by a blackout at the Superdome. Despite that power problem, New Orleans is considered a favorite to be chosen by the 32 owners as the city celebrates its 300th year. A three-quarters majority is required for passage.

I heard yesterday on the radio that New Orleans is a perfect 10 for 10 in being selected as a Super Bowl site. However, the numbers may not be in their favor this time. Minnesota has a new stadium, and the trend lately has been rewarding cities for building a new stadium. Minneapolis is feeling confident.

Pretty sure we have lost to tampa and miami before.

Hopefully New Orleans gets it. 2018 will be just about the end of the Saints' window.

I think New Orleans draws more fans than fricking minneapolis

Minny is going to get one, just not until 2019. New Orleans will have a strong case with the Tricentennial celebration.

Yes, but per NFL rules it can't host a Super Bowl until 2019 at the earliest.

The folks that handicap these things believe the competition will ultimately boil down to New Orleans and Indianapolis. Even though Minneapolis has a spectacular new stadium in its bid arsenal, most believe they are a year away from serious contention.
New Orleans is the favorite to win the bid to host the 2018 Super Bowl, which will be awarded by the NFL on Tuesday at the league's owners meeting in Atlanta.
Most believe it would take a Hickory High-like upset to prevent the Crescent City from winning the bid. If California Chrome is a 3-5 shot to win the Preakness, then New Orleans is at least even-money to win Super Bowl LII.
An solid article about what happens in the bid process

Should come back to Jacksonville soon.

I figure Atlanta would want a crack at it with that new stadium coming and all.
