Atlanta, South Florida, L.A. chosen to host Super Bowls

Piece of an NFL Statement.

The NFL announced the locations for Super Bowls LIII, LIV and LV on Tuesday, resulting in a lot of happy folks folks in Atlanta, South Florida and Los Angeles.

The NFL announced at the Spring League Meeting on Tuesday that Atlanta has won the right to host Super Bowl LIII in 2019. It will be the third time they host the game and the first Super Bowl in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which is under construction and scheduled to open as the new home of the Falcons in 2017.

"We think Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a great host stadium for the Super Bowl," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said. "Thank you to all fans and citizens for their support."

The 2020 Super Bowl will mark a return to South Florida for the first time in a decade. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross poured in more than $400 million in renovations to get the big game back in town, and he was rewarded by his fellow owners for the upgrades.

"The only thing better than winning the 2020 Super Bowl is playing in it and winning it," Ross told reporters after the selection.
