Every host city brought something special. Here's what Nashville can learn from each one.
Atlanta leveraged its position as a corporate headquarters hub, with 18 Fortune 500 companies driving massive B2B activation. The city's MARTA transit system moved 400,000+ riders on game day.
LA brought unmatched celebrity power and the $5.5B SoFi Stadium. But sprawl hurt walkability, and traffic logistics were the biggest challenge. Still, the entertainment factor was off the charts.
Vegas shattered every record with $1.1B in economic impact. The Strip's existing entertainment infrastructure meant zero "build-up" cost for activations. Hotel occupancy hit 99.4%.
Nashville has already proven it can host mega-events. The 2019 NFL Draft drew 600,000+ fans and generated $224M in economic impact — without a game being played. Now imagine a Super Bowl.
Vegas gave you spectacle. LA gave you celebrity. Atlanta gave you infrastructure. Nashville gives you SOUL.
