Originally on March 23, 2005, the league voted and agreed to have the City of New York host the game contingent on the fact that the proposed West Side Stadium, to be built for the New York Jets, is completed by 2008.[#endnote_NYCbid] However, after New York State government officials in June refused to approve $300 million for the stadium, the NFL in August decided to reopen the bidding for the game's site.[#endnote_reopenBid] The league then decided to consider the failed candidates for Super Bowl XLIII: Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas, and Miami. The league eventually selected Miami on October 6.[#endnote_miamiWins] Barring a change in the NFL's practices, the Super Bowl will most likely never be played in New York City, as the league has traditionally only allowed Super Bowls in cold winter climate cities if they have a domed stadium, such as the Detroit, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota areas.
With Tampa as the host of Super Bowl XLIII, Super Bowl XLIV will mark the third time that consecutive Super Bowls would be played in the same state. Super Bowls II and III were both played at the Miami Orange Bowl. And Super Bowls XXI and XXII were both played in California: XXI at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium and XXII at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium.
