Miami has been awarded the 2010 Super Bowl, a record 10th time our city will host the big game.
Miami, Atlanta and Houston made a final pitch for the game at an NFL owners meeting. Some thought Atlanta and Houston were favorites because Miami already had been picked for the 2007 game, but team owners said South Florida’s weather won out.
The 2008 Super Bowl will be played in Phoenix. That means after the game in Michigan this year, there will be three Super Bowls in Florida and one in Arizona.
Three off the first five Super Bowls in 1968, 1969 and 1971 were in Miami and the last one here was in 1999.
