New Orleans hosted its record 11th Super Bowl on February 9, 2025.
New Orleans has once again shown why it's the ultimate Super Bowl host city, delivering an unforgettable Super Bowl LIX and demonstrating what it means to throw the perfect football celebration. As we hosted our historic 11th Super Bowl at the iconic Caesars Superdome, our beloved city didn't just open its doors – we threw them wide open with the legendary hospitality that's made New Orleans a world-renowned destination for centuries.
From the soul-stirring jazz of Frenchmen Street to the intoxicating aromas of Creole and Cajun cuisine that spilled from every corner, New Orleans delivered an experience that went far beyond game day. Visitors discovered a city where every street told a story, every meal became a celebration, and every moment transformed into an unforgettable memory during Super Bowl weekend. Super Bowl LIX's success once again proved that New Orleans is truly #BuiltToHost, combining our unique culture, world-class venues, and unmatched hospitality to create an extraordinary championship experience.
But don't just take our word for it–everyone from sports broadcasters, to journalists, musicians, and business leaders have said that New Orleans is the best city in the country to host Super Bowl. See some of their thoughts below.

New Orleans really showed out this week for the Super Bowl. Great food, Everything is walking distance, NFL Experience, Parades, Parties, Bourbon Street, and it’s the safest we’ve ever felt with all the military presence. Definitely should be here every 3-5 years. ⚜️ #NewOrleanspic.twitter.com/Z7szaJrfgo

No city comes close. Next three Super Bowl sites have already been named. It should be back here in February 2029. And every year after that. https://t.co/rvPvvuLOy3
One of the many reasons we keep going back to New Orleans for Super Bowls - can walk everywhere. 16 minutes from my office at our hotel to my spot for the game, including going thru security. pic.twitter.com/jDhY3FfBya
Leaving New Orleans after an unforgettable Super Bowl, it’s easy to see why so many in the NFL want this city to host more of them.
Incredible food, amazing hospitality, excellent drinks, a first-class experience. Even the airport was more than ready. Kudos to all involved. pic.twitter.com/93fylZF1Pu
The core Super Bowl rotation should consist of New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Miami, with a second tier of cities getting the game every fourth year. (Nashville probably will end up being a preferred core city, too.) https://t.co/4wGEMDz43Q
The City of New Orleans made an impact and did it right this weekend. Celebrities and people from across the country are all praising the city and many of them are saying Nola should be one of the main host cities. #Super Bowl pic.twitter.com/531zUIRoNH
On the tarmac to leave New Orleans, and I’ll say it again—no other city comes close as a Super Bowl host. From the walkability to the bars to the restaurants … whoever’s second is way behind.
New Orleans is an almost perfect Super Bowl town: super walkable, great bar and restaurant scene, able to handle big crowds, tons of hotel rooms, great weather, fantastic people. Don’t think any city can beat it.
I have said it for decades. I will say it again. Play every Super Bowl in New Orleans, ideally with a new retractable-roof stadium where the Superdome sits. But if not... play every Super Bowl there anyway. The end.
