Allegiant Stadium was the 27th venue to host a Super Bowl, according to USA Today. Over the years, there have been cities that have played host more than others.
Here’s a look at the three cities that have held the most Super Bowls in history.
Miami
Until this year, Miami has hosted more Super Bowls than any other city. There have been 11 games total held in the city.
The first game held in Miami was in 1968 for Super Bowl II. This game was held at the Orange Bowl. The Green Bay Packers were seeking their second consecutive Super Bowl win, this time against the Oakland Raiders. The Packers were successful in their feat, beating the Raiders, 33-14. Bart Starr, Green Bay’s quarterback, was named MVP for a second year for his stellar performance in this game.
The following year, the Orange Bowl was the setting of the Super Bowl once again. This game was played between the New York Jets and the Baltimore Colts. Joe Namath and the Jets were able to beat the Colts in a shocking outcome, as the Colts were heavily favored to take home the victory. The final score of the game was 16-7.
The Orange Bowl was used three times in the ’70s. The first was 1971 when the Colts beat the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13, with a game-winning field goal in the last seconds of the game by Jim O’Brien.
In 1976, the Pittsburgh Steelers won a second Super Bowl in a row after beating the Cowboys in the Orange Bowl. In 1979, the Steelers beat the Cowboys, 35-31.
The year 1989 marked the start of a new Miami stadium hosting the Super Bowl. From this year on, the remaining Super Bowl games held in Miami have been played at Hard Rock Stadium, although the venue went through many other names, including Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Pro Player Stadium, Dolphin Stadium, Land Shark Stadium and Sun Life Stadium. It was 2016 when Hard Rock Stadium began to be used.
After 1989, Super Bowls have been played at what is now Hard Rock Stadium in 1995, 2007, 2010 and 2020.
New Orleans
With Super Bowl LIX, New Orleans is now tied with Miami for the most Super Bowls hosted with 11 over the years. Most of the games have been held at Caesars Superdome, formally the Louisiana Superdome and Mercedes-Benz Superdome, with three at Tulane Stadium.
The first New Orleans Super Bowl was in 1970 at Tulane Stadium. The game was held on Jan. 11, when the Chiefs beat the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7, in Super Bowl IV.
In 1972, a second Super Bowl was held at Tulane Stadium in a matchup between the Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Super Bowl VI marked the first championship victory for the Cowboys, who beat the Dolphins by a large margin, 24-3.
The Steelers and Vikings played at Tulane Stadium in Super Bowl IX on Jan. 12, 1975. The game was won by the Steelers, 16-6, marking the franchise’s first win.
What is now the Caesars Superdome opened its doors in the summer of ’75 and became the venue of the remaining Super Bowls in the city. The first game held in the new venue was in 1978 when the Cowboys beat the Denver Broncos, 27-10, in Super Bowl XII. After that game, New Orleans hosted Super Bowls in 1981, 1986, 1990 and 1997.
In 2002, New Orleans welcomed the St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots for Super Bowl XXXVI. The Patriots won their first championship, 20-17.
This year will be the first time the city has hosted a Super Bowl since 2013, when the Baltimore Ravens beat the 49ers, 34-31.
Greater Los Angeles
On Jan. 15. 1967, the very first Super Bowl, then known as the NFL-AFL World Series Championship, was played at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles.
This game was played between the Packers, led by Bart Starr, and the Chiefs.
The Packers defeated the Chiefs, 35-10.
