Where is Super Bowl 59 being played? Location, previous cities and stadium history
By Scott Rogust
The NFL went through a grueling season to find out which teams would have a chance to compete for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. With 12 teams entering the playoffs, only four remain, and they will compete for two spots in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday, Jan. 26.
In the NFC Championship Game, the Philadelphia Eagles take on the underdog Washington Commanders. In the AFC Championship Game, the Kansas City Chiefs will have to defeat a familiar foe in the Buffalo Bills.
As is the case every year, the two remaining teams in the playoffs will meet at a neutral site. Where is Super Bowl 59 being held?
Where is Super Bowl 59?
Super Bowl 59 will take place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La. on Sunday, Feb. 9.
New Orleans was actually supposed to host Super Bowl 58 last year, but was unable to do so due to the date conflicting with Mardi Gras celebrations after the regular season expanded to 17 games. Instead, Super Bowl 58 was awarded to Las Vegas, with New Orleans earning Super Bowl 59.
New Orleans, Superdome Super Bowl history
The last time New Orleans and the Superdome hosted the Super Bowl was in 2013 but that’s far from the only time the Big Game has come to the Big Easy.
Super Bowl 59 will be the 11th time New Orleans hosted the big game, which is tied with Miami for the most times as a host city. New Orleans hosted the Super Bowl in 1970, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1981, 1986, 1990, 1997, 2002 and 2013.
The last time the city hosted the big game was in Super Bowl 47, where the Baltimore Ravens took on the San Francisco 49ers. The Ravens staved off a comeback attempt by the 49ers and Colin Kaepernick to pick up the 34-31 win.
