Turns out that all the predictions that stated the lack of a new stadium in Miami would doom the region's ability to land a Super Bowl were correct. On Tuesday afternoon, commissioner Roger Goodell announced that San Francisco will host Super Bowl L in 2016 and that Houston will host Super Bowl LI in 2017.

The news of San Francisco's win certainly wasn't a surprise. After the bid to land a new stadium in Miami fell short in the Florida legislature this month, the appeal of San Francisco and its future stadium in the Bay Area was strengthened mightily.

"After losing a Super Bowl, it's certainly nice to win a Super Bowl," 49ers owner Jed York told reporters.

The loser of Super Bowl L -- which, ahem, will be the next Super Bowl played on CBS -- faced off against Houston for the right to host Super Bowl LI, but Miami still was the underdog. Mostly because commissioner Roger Goodell has intimated in the past that the current state of Sun Life Stadium wasn't conducive to another Super Bowl.

And all of those predictions came true. As the 49ers gleefully tweeted out.

Really? Arrowhead without a roof is what makes Arrowhead what it is.

Why not place the Packers in a dome while you are at it?

Putting a roof over Arrowhead just to watch 2 teams (other than the chiefs) come here to play in a superbowl is silly imo.


Change the culture, renovate the stadium, change the uniforms for all I care... but charging the tax payers for a roof over arrowhead when the team has consistently sucked royal ass for years is a no-no.
