Related: About this forumMinneapolis to host 2018 Super Bowl
ATLANTA -- Minneapolis has been awarded the 2018 Super Bowl by NFL owners.
The owners rewarded the Vikings for arranging to build a stadium on the site of the old Metrodome by choosing Minneapolis over New Orleans and Indianapolis.
The big game will be staged in the Twin Cities for a second time. It was there in 1992, when Washington beat Buffalo.
Minneapolis' new $1 billion stadium is scheduled to open in 2016.

I'm glad they picked a city that doesn't have a professional football team.

that they don't have to go to New Orleans. In February.
