Jacksonville's next Superbowl !!!

Coolyfett · December 06, 2008, 10:39:57 PM

2013 Superbowl??? Has anyone heard anything?? I have heard Charlotte got it!!! Did a Google search and all I am finding is that New Orleans is trying hard to get that game.

So did Charlotte get the game for 2013 or New Orleans.

Jacksonville needs to try and get back in line for one!!!!

I want Jacksonville to have at least 3 Superbowls before Nashville gets one!!!

Jax has alot of work do. I seriously doubt if the NFL will award us another game if our downtown has not significantly improved.

The absolute soonest we might be awarded the Superbowl would be after we complete the $150 million upgrade to the stadium. What's the time frame on that? A few years? And then we'd be bidding for the game about 5 years later? So maybe, possibly the 2016 or 2017 Super Bowl at the earliest.

That said, I'm not optimistic they'd even consider us for the next decade.

I think 2 major things have to happen. First is to follow through with the stadium improvements, and second is to upgrade downtown. The next time they should follow through with the original plans with the barges in the river for the entertainment district. With the hotels added at the airport and other new ones sprinkled around town we probably have about 1,000 more hotel rooms. I worked near the airport during the last super bowl and there are at least 5 more hotels with another one being built right now.

I believe that Detroit went 24 years (1982-2006) between Superbowls...so lets get psyched for Superbowl LIII!

Should read LXIII ...my latin teacher would not be happy

I think we need to not only work on those two things but transportation as well. One of the major complaints with Jax revolved around poor mass transit options and being forced to drive 30-45 minutes to visit various attractions. Its hard to compete head-to-head with the big dogs when all you have is a second class bus system.

Detroit?

Well after the season they will award another location. Every city gets 5 years to prepare so........I think Wayne Weaver needs to go for another one.

Does anyone know who has the Superbowl after Indy?

Charles Hunter · December 08, 2008, 06:43:41 AM

XL (2009 after the 2008 season) - Detroit
XLI (2010) - Miami
XLII (2011) - Glendale, Arizona - U of Phoenix Stadium
XLIII (2012) - Tampa
XLIV (2013) - Miami (again!!)

Don't see Indy at all?

XLIII is this season's Super Bowl, to be held in Tampa. Your order is correct, but the years are wrong. The correct list is as follows:

XLIV (2010) - Miami - Dolphins Stadium
XLV (2011) - Dallas - new Cowboys stadium
XLVI (2012) - Indy - Lucas Oil Stadium

Charles Hunter · December 08, 2008, 10:27:37 PM

Gee, if you can't trust a site called "Superbowl History" who can you trust?
Maybe I should have gone to the NFL site? Maybe next time!
Thanks for the clarification!

With Superbowl 43 coming up next week, Tampa Bay's 4th, does anyone know when the NFL will announce the next Superbowl location? I am guessing they do it at the owners meetings, Whats going on down there, is weaver trying for another one? What is the buzz?

Coolyfett · January 25, 2009, 06:01:44 PM

Did a little research, from what I have read, Houston, New Orleans & Phoenix will be bidding for Superbowl 47, Also Phoenix had bid for 45 & 46!! They seem very aggressive out there. They just had 42, bidded on 45, 46 and now 47. Houston & New Orleans also bid for 46. Weaver needs to bid for 47 as well. I hope Jacksonville leadership doesn't let the media punk them out. Weaver & Peyton need to bid!

tufsu1 · January 25, 2009, 06:42:15 PM

Let me say this one more time....Jacksonville got the Super Bowl a few years back as all new or relocated teams in decent weather markets are given one....but we have very little chance of getting another one in the next 10 years....at this point, a bid would be a waste of time and money!
