Statement from Governor Brewer Regarding Arizona's Selection to Host 2015 Super Bowl

Statement

"I was thrilled to learn that NFL owners today awarded the 49th Super Bowl to the great State of Arizona -- marking the third time the Phoenix area has hosted the championship game and the second time it will be played in Glendale's beautiful University of Phoenix Stadium. I want to thank the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee for all of its fine work and, of course, NFL owners who've given the state this honor.

"The Super Bowl is indisputably one of the world's premier sporting events -- and an economic boon to
any state fortunate enough to play host. In 2008, the last time the Super Bowl was played in Glendale, football fans generated upwards of $500 million in economic impact for Arizona.

"Beyond the economic impact, the Super Bowl will once again shine a bright light on all that our wonderful state has to offer. I know that football fans across Arizona share my enthusiasm in knowing that the
Super Bowl is coming back to the Grand Canyon State!"
