These Super Bowls are a racket anyway. They are awarded by the NFL as concessions to cities that provide substantial public funding for these new stadiums. Hosting a Super Bowl in the first couple of years after a stadium is built helps justify the "public investment" in the stadium.

Jacksonville, for example, had no business hosting a Super Bowl. Every story I've heard from people who were down there indicates that it was probably the worst-organized Super Bowl they've ever seen.

You are right, Houston hosting last year was payback for the new stadium for the Texans. But at least Houston has a night life.
