The Super Bowl
has been played 58 times, so plenty of venues have had a chance to host the NFL’s biggest game. NFL owners decide where future Super Bowls will be played at, and they have always been played in a metropolitan area where an NFL team is located. In the early days of the league, that meant that Super Bowl venues were sometimes located in a stadium that an NFL team didn’t play at, but now, Super Bowls are always in the stadium of an NFL team.
To host a Super Bowl, a venue/city must meet a number of requirements. Among those include a minimum of 70,00 seats in the stadium, an average game day temperature of at least 50 °F (unless the stadium has a roof), room for the NFL Experience and Gameday Experience, and enough hotel spaces to meet at least 35%!o(MISSING)f the stadium’s capacity within close proximity of the stadium. There are other requirements for a city/stadium to host as well, including suitable practice facilities and at least 35,000 parking spots within a mile of the stadium.
Once Allegiant Stadium officially hosts the Super Bowl, there will have been 16 different metropolitan
areas and 27 different stadiums that have hosted the Super Bowl. The Miami metropolitan area has hosted the most Super Bowls, with the big game taking place there on 11 different occasions. Hard Rock Stadium has been the venue for six of those Super Bowls, making it the second-most played at venue for the Super Bowl. The most played at venue is Caesars Superdome, which has hosted seven times but will have the game for an eighth time next season. The Orange Bowl and the Rose Bowl have hosted the game more than any other non-NFL team stadiums, as the Super Bowl has been to each of those spots five times.
Allegiant Stadium will be joining SoFi Stadium, Mercedez-Benz Stadium, U.S. Bank Stadium, Levi’s Stadium, MetLife Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium, AT&T Stadium, Ford Field, Alltel Stadium, Sun Devil Stadium, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, Stanford Stadium, Pontiac Silverdome, and Rice Stadium as the venues to host the Super Bowl exactly one time.
Super Bowl I was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. After Allegiant Stadium hosts the game between the
Chiefs and 49ers this year, the next three venues will be Caesars Superdome, Levi’s Stadium, and SoFi Stadium.
Allegiant had a cost of $1.9 billion, the second most expensive stadium in the world. The stadium's turf sits on a huge tray that can be moved into and out of the stadium. it weighs a mere 19 million pounds and requires 72 motors to move. But there are only seats for 65,000 fans. CBS will use 165 cameras to cover SB 58.
