Super Bowl LX just wrapped up in northern California, and the NFL's events surrounding the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara were pretty widely scattered over a large region.
Some NFL events were more than an hour's drive away from each other. Compare that to New Orleans, where the most leisurely walk between NFL events during Super Bowl week would take half that time.
Local officials hope recent memories of Super Bowl LIX here in New Orleans help sway the league when it considers awarding the next available Super Bowl.
Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation President Jay Cicero says that alone won't land you the big game, but people do like it.
"It doesn't win you the bid anymore, but what it does is puts everybody within walking distance of all venues," said Cicero. "Everybody wants to be downtown when they come to New Orleans."
New Orleans & Company President and CEO Walt Leger III says host cities with suburban stadiums just can't compare.
"Unfortunately, other cities have really been forced to spread out and build stadiums in outlying areas, create the need for long bus rides and other transit to be able to get to and from the event itself, and then they also get spread out with hotels and venues," said Leger.
The NFL will decide later this year if New Orleans will host a record twelfth Super Bowl.
