Super Bowl XLIII will be the 43rd annual edition of the Super Bowl in American football, and the 39th annual championship game of the modern-era National Football League (NFL). It is scheduled to be played on February 1 2009[1]. Tampa, Florida was selected for the game site on May 25 2005, beating out three other finalists: Atlanta; Houston; and Miami. It will be the fourth Super Bowl played in Tampa, and the second in Raymond James Stadium.

The game will be televised on NBC, which will be their first Super Bowl telecast since Super Bowl XXXII. It will also be the last Super Bowl and next to last major sporting event (Fox Sports' Daytona 500 coverage on February 15 will be the last event) to be telecast in the USA in the analog television format, as on February 17 of that year, all television stations must cease analog broadcasts.

The NFL was exploring the possibility of moving the Pro Bowl to the host site of the Super Bowl, and holding it the weekend before the Super Bowl starting in 2009.[2] However, the league decided to retain the 2009 Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii.[3]

Announcers Jim Nantz * and Phil Simms *

Super Bowl XLIV will be the 44th annual edition of the Super Bowl in American football, and the 40th annual championship game of the modern-era National Football League (NFL). The game is scheduled to be played on February 7 2010 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, the 10th time a Super Bowl will have played in the Miami metro area. The game will be televised in the United States on CBS, which will celebrate coverage of their 50th NFL season (1956-93; 1998-present). They also broadcast the last Super Bowl held in Miami Gardens, Florida (XLI).

This will be the first Super Bowl telecast after the February 17, 2009 deadline to end analog television broadcasts in the US.

On March 23, 2005, the league originally voted to have the City of New York host the game contingent on the completion of the proposed West Side Stadium, to be built for the New York Jets, by 2008.[1]

After New York State government officials in June refused to approve $300 million for the stadium, the NFL in August decided to reopen the bidding for the game's site.[2] The league then decided to consider the failed candidates for Super Bowl XLIII: Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas, and Miami Gardens, Florida. The league eventually selected Miami Gardens on October 6.[3]

With Tampa as the host of Super Bowl XLIII, Super Bowl XLIV will mark the third time that consecutive Super Bowls would be played in the same state. Super Bowls II and III were both played at the Miami Orange Bowl. Super Bowls XXI and XXII were both played in California: XXI at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium and XXII at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium.

Miami Gardens will become the first city to host two Super Bowls designated as a National Security Special Event (NSSE). In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, every Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXVI has been designated as a NSSE. Super Bowl XLI was Miami Gardens's first Super Bowl designated as a NSSE.

Super Bowl XLIX

[edit]
Super Bowl XLIX
Visiting Team AFC Champion
Home Team NFC Champion
Date February 1, 2015

Super Bowl XLIX will be the 49th Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) between the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) champions.

NFL owners voted in November 2005 to award a Super Bowl to Kansas City, Missouri in honor of Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who helped engineer the annual game when he was commissioner of the American Football League in the 1960s. NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue then announced March 5 2006, that Kansas City would host Super Bowl XLIX. However, the game was contingent on the successful passage of two sales taxes in Jackson County, Missouri on April 4 2006. The first tax to fund improvements to Arrowhead and neighboring Kauffman stadiums passed with 53% approval. However, the second tax that would have allowed the construction of a rolling roof between the two stadiums was narrowly defeated, with 48% approval. In the wake of the defeat, and opposition by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and several civic and business groups, Hunt and the Chiefs announced on May 25 2006 that they are withdrawing the request to host Super Bowl XLIX.
