2014 Super Bowl – New York and New Jersey as Hosts
The Super Bowl 2014 has been awarded to New York and New Jersey. The National Football League owners on Tuesday picked New York/New Jersey over South Florida and Tampa Florida. The South Florida delegation was eliminated in the first round of voting.
The New York/New Jersey bid was said to be the favorite because the Jets and Giants have recently built a $1.6 billion stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., that will make its debut for the coming NFL season. The pick was also said to be a way to pay respect to Wellington Mara, the late owner of the Giants whose foresight in the early days of the league allowed the NFL to become a dominant force in the U.S. sports world.
