South Florida Super Bowl Bid Committee and Miami Dolphins Representatives Visit NFL Headquarters

MIAMI - Dec. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- The South Florida Super Bowl Bid Committee and Miami Dolphins representatives met with NFL officials at the NFL headquarters in New York City on Tuesday, Dec. 1st to present South Florida’s bid for the 2019 and 2020 Super Bowl. Miami Dolphins’ owner, Stephen Ross, was also in attendance as part of a surprise visit in support of the Committee’s efforts. The final bid is due on April 15th and the games will be awarded at the owners meeting in late May. This visit is part of the South Florida Bid Committee’s extensive efforts to bring the Super Bowl back to the region after 10 years. South Florida will be competing against Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa for the final site selection decision in May 2016.

"It was great to be back at the table with NFL officials discussing the Super Bowl’s return to South Florida. Stephen Ross’ 500 million investment into Sun Life Stadium’s renovations certainly allows us to compete with all of the new stadiums coming online. We had a great meeting and feel very optimistic," said Rodney Barreto, chairman of the South Florida Super Bowl Bid Committee.

South Florida after the region was chosen as a finalist earlier this year to potentially host Super Bowl LIII and Super Bowl LIV. If chosen, the games will be taking place at the newly revamped Sun Life Stadium, which will feature an extensively modernized exterior, shade canopy, four high-definition scoreboards and other enhancements. The first wave of renovations are set to be completed by the start of the 2015 season and the complete renovation will be finished prior to the start of the 2016 season.
