In a decision made in Atlanta today, Super Bowl LII will be hosted at the new Vikings stadium in 2016, beating New Orleans a perennial favorite. It appears Minnesota's new dome was the deciding factor.
According to Sports Illustrated
......the NFL has taken an interest in rewarding the sports’s championship to teams who procure new stadiums. This coming season’s host, the Phoenix area, was handed the game after opening University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale; San Francisco will welcome the 2016 Super Bowl to its freshly-minted Levi’s Stadium; and Detroit, Dallas-Fort Worth and New York, among others, have won the annual vote for Super Bowl hosting duties following construction of sparkling facilities.
