For those of you not in the Northeast who watched Rex Burkhead rumble in for a game-winning and Super Bowl-berth-clinching touchdown, I’m sure the first words out of your mouth — that we could print — were: “Go Rams.”

/in /by

When the NFL considers sites for future Super Bowl locations, many requirements must be met by potential cities, their venues and their accommodations. Stadium quality is among the priorities, which is why all of the next four Super Bowls will be played in new or recently renovated stadiums.

That’s why Minnesota was awarded Super Bowl 52 in 2018, after all. With weather also being a factor when the NFL considers future Super Bowl locations, brand-new and climate-controlled U.S. Bank Stadium was the reason “Bold North” was possible.
