Minny gets SB 2018 and NO NFL playoff expansion for now
 

UPDATE: Minnesota was awarded the bid for Superbowl LII in 2018. New Orleans made the final cut as Indianapolis was eliminated from contention after the second round of votes. Congrats to Minnesota for winning.


From earlier....
According to Ramon Vargas of the Advocate, Saints owner Tom Benson will be arriving in Atlanta in about 30 minutes to discuss with his fellow owners about the Superbowl LII bid for New Orleans.

NFL Network saying the voting has just started..... but have never picked a Superbowl location on the first vote.

First vote did not have a Super majority, so they have to vote again...

Here comes the 2nd vote. One of the cities with lower voting totals should get lopped off here....
