In vote 1, no site got the necessary NFL club votes to win the Super Bowl hosting rights for 2014. In vote 2, South Florida (Miami) was eliminated. Eventually it came down to a majority vote between Tampa and New York.
In the end, the Big Apple came out on top and the New York Jets and New York Giants will play host in 2014. Hopefully, they'll both be playing in it as well!
It was a surprising move for the NFL, who has hosted its premiere event almost exclusively in Miami, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Dallas, and other warm weather sites.
Now, the big city has paved the way for legitimate football towns like Chicago to eventually stake their claim to future Super Bowls. Word to the wise: real football is played in the elements. Thankfully, the NFL owners voted to recognize that fact today.
