(AsiaGameHub) – Las Vegas will play host to the Super Bowl in 2029, as Allegiant Stadium has been selected to hold the game for the second time after its first hosting gig in 2024.
The Decision Is Official
NFL team owners voted to approve the widely anticipated choice during a gathering in Phoenix, confirming a result many insiders had predicted for months.
That inaugural Las Vegas-hosted Super Bowl ended with Kansas City beating San Francisco 25-22 in overtime, and the event left a lasting positive impression on league leadership.
For many years, though, the NFL avoided holding the event in Las Vegas, primarily due to concerns related to legalized sports wagering. But stances have evolved as the city has steadily developed into a leading national sports hub.
“We’re Excited to Bring the Super Bowl Back to Las Vegas”
Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed enthusiasm for the announcement, citing the city’s proven capacity to execute large-scale, high-profile events.
“We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sports and entertainment destinations,” he said.
Goodell also emphasized the positive impact of the 2024 event. “Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy, and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders, and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.”
The NFL’s upcoming Super Bowl hosting lineup is already fully locked in, with California set to host next year’s game in Inglewood, followed by Atlanta in 2028, before Las Vegas takes its turn as host in 2029.
“A Testament” to the Raiders, the NFL, and the Community
Raiders owner Mark Davis attributed the return of the game to years of coordinated planning and cross-group collaboration. “It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one,” he said.
“Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII we are committed to raising it even further.”
Las Vegas has built a strong reputation as a dependable host for major sporting events. Since the Raiders relocated to the city in 2020, it has also hosted the 2022 NFL Draft, and is scheduled to put on a number of other high-profile events in the coming years, including the College Football Playoff national championship and the Final Four.
NFL executive Peter O’Reilly stated that the success of Las Vegas’ first Super Bowl made the approval decision an easy one. “Clearly, Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas was a tremendous success,” he said.
“Every element of that, everything that Las Vegas brought to bear, the energy, the size, the scale, the hospitality. That’s why Las Vegas is the host of so many premier sports and entertainment events,” added O’Reilly.
