Las Vegas is hosting its first Super Bowl this week and next year New Orleans will host its record tying 11th Super Bowl. The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation is the host committee for next year’s Super Bowl and CEO Jay Cicero is in Vegas all week.
“Meeting with the NFL, meeting with the Las Vegas Super Bowl Host Committee and observe events they are producing that will be produced in New Orleans next year,” said Cicero.
New Orleans is hosting its first Super Bowl since 2013 and Cicero says the huge sporting event has grown.
“The hospitality areas that the NFL needs has grown tremendously, the number of media covering the Super Bowl has grown to over 6,000 now, the special events are just plentiful,” said Cicero.
New Orleans hosted its first Super Bowl in 1970 at old Tulane Stadium. Cicero says next year they’ll be remembering the ten previous Super Bowls held in the city and they expect it will be a great event.
“We think we do it better than others, because of its history and experience and the delight when people come to New Orleans the joy they have when they cover a Super Bowl here,” said Cicero.
