ATLANTA — NFL leaders intend to award Super Bowl LXII in 2028 to Atlanta when owners meet next month in that city, sources say, giving Mercedes-Benz Stadium its second big game in nine years. The decision is subject to input and approval by the full group of owners, but sources say execs and key owners on the NFL Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee want to make Atlanta happen.
In one sense, the decision is not a surprise. Falcons owner Arthur Blank, well liked among his peers and Commissioner Roger Goodell, has been public about his desire to host another Super Bowl after last hosting in 2019.
