Roger Goodell Reveals the 1 Condition Eagles Must Meet to Host a Super Bowl
Philadelphia has never hosted a Super Bowl, and in order to do so, they'll have to make this major change.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has revealed that Philadelphia would need a new stadium to host the Super Bowl. The City of Brotherly Love, home to the Eagles, has never been a host despite its rich NFL history. Goodell explained that infrastructure adjustments are necessary to accommodate the influx of guests from out of town, with estimates of up to 200,000 people attending the festivities surrounding the game.
Philadelphia would need to make significant infrastructure improvements to put itself on the list of Super Bowl host cities. The current contract for Lincoln Financial Field expires after the 2032 season, providing an opportunity for the franchise to re-evaluate its long-term plans. The Eagles could choose to renovate the existing stadium or build a new one, with the latter being a prerequisite for hosting the Super Bowl in Philadelphia.
