Miami awarded 2007 Super Bowl WASHINGTON (Sept. 17, 2003) -- The 2007 Super Bowl was awarded to Miami by NFL owners.
The owners ratified a decision made last spring to hold the game at Pro Player Stadium.
Miami has hosted the Super Bowl eight times (1968, '69, '71, '76, '79, '89, '95, and '99), fewer than only New Orleans (nine times).
Houston will host this season's Super Bowl on Feb. 1 and next season's game will be in Jacksonville. Detroit will host the game in 2006.
The site of the 2008 Super Bowl will be decided at owners' meetings in Chicago on Oct. 29-30. The contenders are Arizona, Tampa, Washington and New York-New Jersey.
The owners also were expected to approve the continuation of NFL Europe at the meeting.
