NFL owners will vote next May between San Francisco and South Florida for the 50th Super Bowl in 2016. The loser of that race will then compete with Houston for hosting the 2017 game.
So odds are we get one of them. I think we have a good shot at 50 which would be a lot bigger. Miami might have the better weather although it was raining there for the last one. The 49ers will have a much better stadium though. As for atmosphere hard to beat Miami although San Jose is close to Santa Clara.
As I understand it, the 49ers bid focuses on the city of San Francisco as the host city rather than where the stadium is located. The events associated with the Superbowl will be held in San Francisco according to what I've read on it.
I think because it is the 50th Superbowl, Miami will get the game. They have more experience with Super Bowls and I don't see SF getting it because of that same reason. We should get the 51st, though.
I don't think so. I think the only reason Miami is on the list for 50 is to use it as a carrot to that city to get the stadium upgrades they want. They put 50 and 51 out there to get it done. If it doesn't then Niners get 50 and Houston gets 51. I think SC is almost the slam dunk here and then Miami will get 51 if they can get the upgrades.
Remember...this process for Miami hasn't even started yet. No approved plans. Niners don't have the stadium complete but they WILL because construction is underway.
