These Are The Only 5 Cities That Should Host The Super Bowl

I am now the NFL commissioner, sorry, Roger Goodell, and I’m taking over how we do the Super Bowl.

Under my new guidance as czar, I am creating a rotation of five cities to host the Super Bowl until further notice.

Each city that builds a new NFL stadium will host a Super Bowl that breaks up the rotation a year after it’s fully used in the league, but that will be the only time the venue is used.

Without further ado, here is my Super Bowl rotation.

Los Angeles: SoFi Stadium

SoFi is getting its second Super Bowl this upcoming season, and it’s for good reason. One of the best stadiums in the world, built to accommodate large numbers of people for large-scale events.

If LA can host the Olympics, it can host the Super Bowl every half-decade. Also, if we ever get bored with SoFi, we might give the Rose Bowl or LA Coliseum a Super Bowl for funsies.

Las Vegas: Allegiant Stadium

It’s a perfect host city for the Super Bowl, and, like LA, it can accommodate the flood of people without flinching, with hotels everywhere. Also, you’re guaranteed at least a few viral clips of players doing something stupid in Vegas.

New Orleans: Caesars Superdome

A no-brainer. The best city when it comes to hosting the Super Bowl. It holds the record for hosting eight Super Bowls, and it’s not broken, so let’s not try to fix anything.

Atlanta: Mercedes-Benz Stadium

One of the best stadiums in football is in an underrated city with culture, fun places to see, and great food. Also, the only Super Bowl this stadium has seen so far is the Jared Goff-led Los Angeles Rams against the New England Patriots, which was one of the most boring games in human history.

It deserves to be in the rotation just for that.

Indianapolis: Lucas Oil Stadium

The wild card of the bunch, I’m going with my Midwest representative here. Indianapolis is a great large-event city and has mastered hosting the Final Four, so why not the Super Bowl?

Lucas Oil Stadium will remain in the rotation until the possible opening of new Kansas City or Chicago stadiums, which might take over from it, depending on how walkable they are to the stadium.
