Miami will host 2020 Super Bowl

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NFL has awarded the 2020 Super Bowl to Miami, returning the title game to South Florida for the first time since 2010.

And it’s not just any Super Bowl — the game will come on the 100th anniversary of the birth of the NFL, an occasion that local organizers plan to use as a key theme to Super Bowl week.

It also marks the 11th Super Bowl in South Florida — breaking a tie with New Orleans for the most times hosting the event.

Atlanta and Los Angeles were awarded the 2019 and 2021 Super Bowls, respectively, in a Tuesday afternoon announcement in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Thank you, NFL, for having 2020 vision!” said Nicki Grossman, Broward County’s tourism chief and a longtime committee member who is retiring next month.

The NFL had made it clear that without renovations to the then-named Sun Life Stadium, Miami not only lost its spot in the Super Bowl rotation, it wouldn’t get any Super Bowls, period.
