Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium fails to meet the NFL’s standards for hosting future Super Bowls, according to venue owner Stephen Ross.

NFL Super Bowl Hosting Requirements

The league requires host stadiums to seat at least 70,000 fans, operate in a market with an NFL team, and maintain an average game-day temperature of 50°F or higher—or feature a domed roof.

Hard Rock Stadium no longer qualifies under these criteria, excluding it from consideration after 2029. Ross noted, ‘The one thing that suffered is Miami hasn’t gotten a Super Bowl here, and we normally have one every five years.’ He added, ‘Miami is not really in line for one. It’s always exciting to have the Super Bowl but that was before we had all the other events.’

Ross emphasized Miami’s superior weather but acknowledged the league’s stance: ‘Miami has by far the best weather. It’s in their best interest to have one here but at this point they don’t believe we meet all the requirements and the demands.’

Recent and Upcoming Super Bowls

The stadium last hosted Super Bowl LIV in 2020, where the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers. This followed major renovations, including a large roof installed after Super Bowl XLI in 2006, when the Indianapolis Colts beat the Chicago Bears amid heavy rain.

Super Bowl LXI heads to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Valentine’s Day in 2027—the venue’s second time hosting after the Los Angeles Rams’ 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022.

Super Bowl LXII follows in 2028 at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, marking its second event after the New England Patriots’ 13-3 win over the Rams in 2019. Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium hosts Super Bowl LXIII in 2029.
