Jacksonville has made a name for itself over the years, and 10 years ago, the city hosted Super Bowl XXXIX at Alltel Stadium. The New England Patriots were victorious over the Philadelphia Eagles, winning by just three points. Your Jacksonville moving company was hoping for another Super Bowl to come to town soon, but it’s not looking like that will happen for a while.

Jacksonville was one of many Florida cities that hosted the Super Bowl in recent years, but it seems the NFL is putting the Sunshine State on the back burner for now. The next three Super Bowls will be played in Santa Clara, California, Houston, Texas and Minneapolis, Minnesota. There are also rumors that Super Bowl 2019 will be awarded to Atlanta, who has a new stadium set to open in 2017. New stadium construction seems to be a big deciding factor for Super Bowl decisions, and Florida hasn’t built a new pro football stadium in over 10 years. Other recent Super Bowl host-cities in Florida include Miami and Tampa, but Florida has not hosted a Big Game since 2010.

The 2005 Super Bowl in Jacksonville brought plenty of business to town. It elevated Jacksonville’s city profile by proving that we could handle such a large event. It also initiated investments in Alltel Stadium and the downtown area.

If you are moving to the Jacksonville area, don’t be sad! There may not be an eminent Super Bowl in Jacksonville, but the city has plenty of events and things to do for residents.
