Atlanta Set to Host Super Bowl LXII in 2028

Atlanta is gearing up for an exciting event, as it has been selected to host Super Bowl LXII in 2028. This decision was made during the NFL’s annual fall meeting, where team owners voted to bring the big game back to the city. Atlanta has a rich history with the Super Bowl, having hosted the championship game three times before, with the latest being in 2019 at the state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The excitement was palpable as Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressed gratitude to the NFL for this opportunity. In a statement, Blank said, “This is a tremendous honor for the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia to be selected as host for Super Bowl LXII. Thank you to my fellow owners for their trust in awarding Atlanta this opportunity.” He also acknowledged the hard work of everyone involved and highlighted Atlanta’s potential as a top-tier sports destination.

Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which opened in 2017, is known for its modern amenities and retractable roof, making it a perfect venue for large-scale sporting events. The stadium was also the site of Super Bowl LIII, where the New England Patriots triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams in a tightly contested game.

In the coming years, the NFL has planned for New Orleans to host the Super Bowl next season, followed by California hosting for two years. The San Francisco Bay Area will take its turn in 2026, with Los Angeles following in 2027.

The NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, remarked on Atlanta’s suitability for the Super Bowl, calling it a “world-class event destination.” He praised Arthur Blank for his contributions to the community and expressed eagerness to work with local officials to create a remarkable experience for fans worldwide.

As Atlanta prepares for this significant event, the local community is buzzing with anticipation, looking forward to welcoming football fans from across the globe in 2028.
