Nashville checks all the boxes to be the host of the Super Bowl after its overwhelming success of the NFL Draft in 2019. The three-day draft pulled in approximately 600,00 football fans, proving the city could be ready to host a sporting spectacle like the Super Bowl. However, fans of opposing teams and many other NFL enthusiasts also believed that Nashville hosting the Super Bowl was not a great idea due to the weather and it being a small-market team.

As the NFL prepares to decide on Super Bowl LXIV, the next three host cities from 2027 to 2029 are already locked in. Inglewood, California, will be the host of the Super Bowl in 2027, with SoFi Stadium having the mega event for the second time since 2022. Likewise, Atlanta is slated to host the Super Bowl in 2028, followed by Las Vegas in 2029, and Nashville now has the possibility of joining them, despite the fans’ reaction to the news.
