New Orleans, Minneapolis, Indianapolis Invited to Bid on Super Bowl LII
2018
New Orleans could be in for a huge party to kick off its Tri-centennial anniversary after the NFL invited the Crescent City, along with two other cities, on Tuesday to bid for the right to host the Super Bowl in 2018.
And should the city be successful in its bid to host Super Bowl LII, much of the credit will belong to New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who once again played the role of ambassador in convincing the NFL owners to consider the city for what would be a record 11th Super Bowl bid. Benson made the city's case first in front of the Super Bowl Advisory Committee on Monday and then again Tuesday in front of the 31 other team owners during the owner's meeting in Washington, D.C.
As a result of his effort, New Orleans has been invited to bid on the 2018 Super Bowl along with Minneapolis and Indianapolis.
