venue

Three stadiums applied for Super Bowl XLVIII:

The selection process took place in 2010. The Sun Life Stadium dropped out of the race in the second selection round. In a direct duel, the MetLife Stadium convinced in the fourth selection round and was selected as the venue for the Super Bowl. Since the average temperature in New Jersey in February is around 0 degrees Celsius and the stadium does not have a roof, criticism quickly arose. The rule to only award the Super Bowl to cities with an average temperature of 10 degrees at the beginning of February or a closed stadium roof was deliberately suspended for the award.

At the kick-off for Super Bowl XLVIII, the temperature on site was 9 degrees Celsius. The coldest Super Bowl in history to date was Super Bowl VI at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. Since 1977 ( Super Bowl XII ) all other Super Bowls in New Orleans have been played in closed stadiums. Thus, it was only the second Super Bowl since 1977 that is played in an open stadium outside of California or Florida. The other, Super Bowl XXX , took place in Arizona in 1996 .
