Super Bowl LVII is almost upon us and football fans all over the world are looking forward to the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The contest between the AFC and NFC champions will be played at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Sunday, February 12.
This year marks the fourth time the Grand Canyon State will be hosting the final game of the NFL season. Moreover, it is only the third time that the Super Bowl is taking place in Glendale.
Which location has been selected to host the most Super Bowls?
Interestingly, the city of Miami has the honor of hosting the most Super Bowls in NFL history. The city has played host to the big game on 11 occasions, with the latest one being in 2020 when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers.

The first Super Bowl in Miami was hosted at the Miami Orange Bowl (now known as Hard Rock Stadium) back in 1968 for Super Bowl II.
Hard Rock Stadium has gone through several name changes in the past. It was known as Dolphin Stadium for several years before Sun Life bought the naming rights in 2010.
Eventually, in 2016, Hard Rock bought the naming rights to the stadium. The arena is currently called the Hard Rock Stadium and it's where the Miami Dolphins play their home games.
How the Super Bowl hosting process works
It appears that the NFL prefers for the Super Bowl host to be located in the south. Super Bowl 57 is also being held in Glendale, Arizona, a state which is in the southwest of the country.
The State Farm Stadium will certainly be warm this weekend but tensions will be high. Kickoff for the game between the Chiefs and Eagles on Sunday is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET.
However, organizing a host for the Super Bowl takes years of planning to book vendors and sponsors. As per reports, over 10,000 volunteers need to be interviewed before taking up work to systemize work for the big game.
The city also needs to know of the updates well in advance so that the hotels and restaurants can provide proper accommodations for fans.
The next cities to host the Super Bowl are Las Vegas (2024) and New Orleans (2025).
All these cities typically have a warmer climate than cities in the north at this time of the year, which is certainly a preference for most NFL players and fans.
The economic impacts of a city hosting a Super Bowl
As the Super Bowl invites fans from all across the country to the host city, consumer expenditure in the location booms. Fans spend cash on hotel rooms, food, tours, and shops, which eventually helps businesses in the city.
Hosting a Super Bowl is a big bonus for the city, but it also comes with a huge responsibility.
