2. Mexico City

The NFL returned to Mexico this season, after a long layoff, with a Monday night regular season game between the Houston Texans and the Oakland Raiders in Week 11. Attendance was very good, with over 76,000 rabid fans filling Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, so more preseason and regular season games south of the border seem likely to be coming down the road.

Mexico City is on Central time in the United States, so Super Bowl Sunday and the week leading up to it would be on a normal schedule locally as well as for American fans. The city’s ability to host everything Super Bowl-related from a facilities and public safety standpoint might be a concern, but the NFL can address those possible issues fairly easily. With a game being staged in Mexico this season, any concerning issues have probably been vetted to some degree already.

All things considered, particularly now that the NFL has taken a step to re-enter the country, Mexico seems like a suitable future location for a Super Bowl. Viva NFL!
