MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - It’s official: the next Super Bowl will be held in South Florida.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez took part in a news conference in Atlanta where he ceremoniously accepted the game ball as the next Super Bowl host city, Monday morning.
“It’s an honor for us and a pleasure for us to be hosting the final game of the NFL’s 100th season in Miami,” Gimenez said. “We haven’t hosted a Super Bowl in about 10 years. If you haven’t been to Miami in about 10 years, it’s a completely different city.”
This will be Miami’s 11th time hosting the Super Bowl.
“As the [NFL] commissioner said, this will make Miami number one in terms of hosting Super Bowls,” said Gimenez.

“Miami was really set up to host major events, and there’s no greater event than hosting the Super Bowl,” said Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross.
Super Bowl 54 will be played at the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020.
The announcement comes on the same day the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee’s official hype video was released. The clip is narrated by “Mr. 305” himself, Pitbull.
The theme for this marketing campaign is “Live It Miami.”
“It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the nation. It’s one of the most unique cities in the nation, a truly international city,” said Gimenez. “We speak your language. We have a very unique set of taste and sounds.”
Hard Rock Stadium on Monday night will be lit up in blue and pink. The host committee chose these as the campaign colors, saying they’re an iconic Miami pink and a Florida-inspired ocean blue.
“We anticipate 65,000 people to go to the game, but there will be an additional 150,000 people here for the parties and for the entertainment,” said Rodney Barreto, chairman of the host committee.
South Florida hotels for Super Bowl weekend have already begun to fill up. The Fontainebleau and the Loews Miami Beach Hotel have reported they are sold out of rooms for the weekend.
“Takes a lot of effort to do one of these Super Bowls,” Gimenez said. “There were a ton of people. It’s a great economic generator for the area. The restaurants, the shops, the activities.”
You will be able to catch the game right here on 7.
