Hopefully within the next 10 years the Super Bowl will be back here in Arizona.

Why wouldn't they?

Much better host than last time. Events went smooth, very friendly and helpful staff and a big event city

Plus, if you believe the host stadium has anything to do with the quality of the actual game played, you'd play that game here as often as you could.

Adam Shefter of ESPN tweeted that he thinks the Super Bowl should be in AZ every four years---he said the venue and the people were awesome.

Stadium looked awesome. NFL experience was fantastic in downtown Phoenix. Should be well positioned for another SB within the next 7 years.

Not if the Glendale Mayor keeps opening his mouth complaining about losing money and the hotels keep trying to gouge people.

Now that Miami has been nixed from the rotation, I can totally see the basin becoming a regular in the rotation. And, really it likely already is with Dallas and New Orleans.

I think the only reason it wasn't back sooner was because the NFL wanted to experiment more with cold weather cities. Levi stadium might also make the rotation, but the weather is more iffy than here.

Probably looking at a 6yr rotation more likely.

sounds like the people of Glendale need to vote out their mayor

Yes. He did nothing to help bring the game here. Did nothing to secure the hotel rooms and parking spaces the NFL requested. Was vocal in his opposition, but then whined when the NFL didn't offer him tickets to the game.

Talk about a guy who is in politics for the perks...

I think the production and events for this Super Bowl ,at least from how things appeared from the outside and what little I was involved in, were the biggest and best they have ever been. I think having the Pro Bowl and the WM Open the same week was key to that success.

For a week, Arizona was sports Mecca.

Pro Bowl.
WM Open
ESPN broadcasting live from Scottsdale all week
Super Bowl central downtown
concerts on the west side every night before the super bowl
concerts at US Airways Center
Suns played a game or two at home
Parties and events all over town

And finally, the GAME. An instant classic. And FINALLY a halftime show worth watching from front to back, despite the fact that I don't like any of the artists who performed.

I don't think there is any question that Phoenix will get the Super Bowl again, it's only a matter of when. I just hope the NFL isn't being serious about the team having to play in London for it to be under consideration.

I think every 5 years works with Dallas and New Orleans on a similar rotation and then do your experimenting in the other two years. Atlanta will be a nice spot if they do that stadium as rendered.

Arizona, Miami, Southern California and New Orleans are all in the mix as a part of the rotation due to their mild winter climates and local ammenities.

I am worried if San Diego ever gets its act together and builds a new stadium, AZ will be passed over for that other West Coast temperate city.

Honestly, I can't wait for 20-some years down the road and it's time for a new stadium(s). Get the Cardinals home out of Glendale and to a city that wants them and embrace the fun that comes along. And, watch Glendale turn back into a ghost town farm.

Wiers has done nothing but bitch and whine. Just wait and see what happens if the Yotes leave.
