.. and then?
Yeah, Mayor White didn't sound TOO confident this morning about it on 610. He noted head to head, we'd take it but apparently Atlanta is throwing tax-money at the owners as incentive? (speculation as I haven't heard this before).
If nothing else, maybe we'll get the Jets turn at the wheel that they were promised if they got the new stadium built.
It'd be fun to have it here again, we defintely put on a good show as a hosting city last time.

Stinkin politics!! Atlanta will get it for that reason only! They had a bad ice storm the last time they hosted the SB, but, I dont' think the NFL will even take that into consideration. If weather was a major factor, why are they in the final four? It's all politics! Atlanta needs a new/renovated stadium and this is the NFLs way of making sure they get it.
This is a slam dunk for Atlanta, and having lived there for a year I can tell
you it's a good town and a big time convention center that is deserving of
the SB. Yes convention center and that's what the SB is, one of the countrys biggest, most sought after annual conventions and therein is the
silver lining for Houston. Historically Houston is an economic giant, but as an
industrial center and the hemispheres (if not the worlds), energy center.
Thru developement downtown (thank "Kenny Boy" for getting the downtown renaissance rolling with the Enron/Minute Maid stadium), and of course Bob McNair for building Reliant, Houston is now competing head to head with places like Atlanta & N.Texas for this convention business on a national basis.

Tampa Bay awarded Super Bowl XLIII
WASHINGTON (May 25, 2005) -- Tampa Bay was awarded the 2009 Super Bowl today in a vote at the NFL owners meetings. It beat out three other finalists for the game: Atlanta, Houston and South Florida.
Super Bowl XLIII will be the fourth Super Bowl in Tampa, and the first one since 2001, when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants, 34-7, in Super Bowl XXXV. The first Super Bowl in Tampa was held in 1984, when the Los Angeles Raiders beat the Washington Redskins, 38-9, in Super Bowl XVIII.
The 2006 game -- Super Bowl XL -- will be held in Detroit, followed by Miami in 2007 and Glendale, Arizona, in 2008.

I couldn't figure out why everyone had Tampa written off.
It's a beautiful city ... with the beaches, palm trees, the skyway bridge going into the city, great weather (in February) and all the stuff those owners and their wives love.
But, I'm sure if they could go between Miami and San Diego every year with the Super Bowl, they would.
With time, if they can get into Mexico with the NFL, they'll want the Super Bowl in Acapulco.

-- Bucs' Raymond James Stadium Falling Apart --
Fri Jul 1, 2005 --from FFMastermind.com
The Tampa Tribune reports first the sun-faded pink seats, now a falling chunk of panel - it's been a tough year for not only the Buccaneers but also for Raymond James Stadium. The Tampa Sports Authority, which manages the Bucs' home field, was scrambling this month to cope with the collapse of a 28-foot-long chunk of panel from the underside of an upper-deck overhang. Rain earlier this month led to water leaking through the upper deck and saturating the panel, which tore off its screws and collapsed on seats in the lower bowl June 11, said Mickey Farrell, sports authority operations director. As a result, the sports authority plans to consider spending as much as $600,000 to repair the damage, Farrell said. The $600,000 would include $200,000 for scaffolding, he said. The repair work would include replacing all 30 such soffit panels around the stadium before the Bucs' Aug. 20 preseason home opener against Jacksonville, Farrell said. Each panel is 40 feet long. He expects the repair work to be done by Aug. 15. Farrell said there were no events in the stadium until the Aug. 20 game.

Or mine. The stadium still sucks to this day, and it sucks that the Bayou City did not get awarded a Super Bowl. It goes to Miami, Glendale, Miami, then Tampa (something like that). A bad rotation and a Florida bias.
