And in other "water is wet" news: NFL rewards new stadiums with Super Bowls...

So, let's see here...

• Super Bowl 50/Up R Bowel/Oops:  Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA.  NFL Seasons at time of game:  2
• Super Bowl LI:  Reliant Stadium, Houston, TX.  NFL Seasons at time of game:  15.  It will be the second Super Bowl hosted here, and a rarity on this list.
• Super Bowl LII:  US Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN, the new stadium for the Vikings scheduled to open this year.  If it does, NFL Seasons at the time of the game:  2.
• Super Bowl LIII:  Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA, the Space Station new stadium that is rumored to have rumble seats which will shake at the press of a button to simulate the hits.  Scheduled to open in 2017.  If it does, NFL Seasons at the time of the game:  2.
• Super Bowl LIV:  Miami, formerly Sun Life Stadium.  This would be the sixth Super Bowl held there, and the stadium will have hosted 33 NFL seasons at the time of the 2020 contest.  HOWEVER:  The NFL, after the stadium's last Super Bowl in 2010, threatened never to consider the stadium again without significant renovations, including canopies to protect the fans from the Florida rains.  That renovation is to complete (and a new stadium naming-rights deal announced) before this season, a half-billion dollars in renovations was part of the package to get the Super Bowl back to Miami, awarded today along with Atlanta and...
• Super Bowl LV:  ... in the least surprising move in the history of the National Football League, less than three months after the relocation of the Los Angeles Rams and a year or so before either San Diego or Oakland probably joins them, the new Los Angeles stadium (provisionally named at the moment, according to Wikipedia, "City of Champions" Stadium).  Scheduled to open in 2019.  If it does, notice a pattern here!  NFL Seasons at the time of the game:  2.

This means that, of Super Bowls 50-55, four new stadiums ending their second year of usage, one "old" stadium, and one "very old" stadium which the NFL jawboned a half-billion dollars (at least it is reported that it was privately funded) for renovations.

Gee, you don't think that's being used as another stick against potential cities like Oakland?  So should we pencil Super Bowl LVI at MGM Grand Stadium in Las Vegas, NV?
