This will be the first Super Bowl played outdoors in a cold weather environment and the first in 38 years to be played outdoors on artificial turf. This will also be the first Super Bowl in which two states (New York and New Jersey) will work together when it comes to hosting the game. Because of the potential weather concerns, there’s been discussion about whether or not there will be a halftime show.
MetLife Stadium, Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, and Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida were the three stadiums that were part of the bidding process. Tampa has hosted four Super Bowls (XVIII, XXV, XXXV, XLIII) while South Florida/Miami has hosted 10 NFL title games (II, III, V, X, XIII, XXIII, XXIX, XXXIII, XLI, and XLIV). Miami was eliminated in the second round of voting while New Jersey beat out Tampa in the fourth round.
