Next year’s Super Bowl is set to return to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona for the 3rd time. Home of the Arizona Cardinals, this stadium can seat 60,000+, encompasses 1.7 million square feet of space, and was the first stadium to ever feature a rollout field and retractable roof. State Farm Stadium has won multiple awards, including Best New Venue of the 2000s by SportsIllustrated.com. Only a twenty-minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, equipped with a range of hotel options and numerous scenic attractions, Glendale will be a perfect host for next year’s game.


The Super Bowl’s Impact on Sports Tourism

It’s no surprise that the biggest day in sports leaves a huge economic impact on its hosts. This year’s game was projected to bring up to $477.5 million to Los Angeles. 150,000 visitors were expected to descend upon the city, with individuals estimated to spend around $350/night per hotel room and $300 daily during their stay.

In 2018, just the ten days leading up to Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis brought $32 million in tax revenue for state and local government. Visitors spent an average of $608/day during their stay and $249/night on hotels.


From the tangible excitement surrounding the game itself to the widespread impact the Super Bowl leaves on each of its host cities, this larger-than-life event is a testament to the power of sports and the bonds they forge between players, fans, strangers, and friends.
