Eagles Hope Super Bowl Bid Will Follow Stadium Renovations 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 18, 2013 3:59 pm

The Philadelphia Eagles are hopeful that their $125 million renovation to Lincoln Financial Field will help in their bid to host a Super Bowl.


Jeffrey Lurie first floated the idea in March.


"That wasn't the intention, but certainly when I'm on the Super Bowl committee, when you're bidding on a Super Bowl, the committee looks very closely at your stadium and your city and what you can host," Lurie said. "Philadelphia would be a great place."


The next four Super Bowls will be played in recently improved or brand new stadiums.
