Who is going to win 2009 Super Bowl XLIV?

New Orleans is a Super Bowl city again. NFL owners voted Tuesday to play Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 in New Orleans, the first time the championship game will be held in the city since Hurricane Katrina shredded parts of the Louisiana Superdome, home to the Saints. The hurricane devastated the Gulf Coast four years ago and caused 1,600 deaths.

New Orleans beat out Miami, which sought a record 11th Super Bowl, and 2008 host Glendale, Ariz. It will be New Orleans' 10th time as a Super Bowl site. "We're just thrilled about what's going on," Saints owner Tom Benson said.

"We're getting a new Superdome. Now we're going to get a Super Bowl on top of that. New Orleans last hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, when Adam Vinatieri's 48-yard field goal as time expired lifted the New England Patriots over the St. Louis Rams.

Benson said he was congratulated by the owners, even those who saw Super Bowl bids for their city be voted down. "All are great Super Bowl cities," said Rita Benson LeBlanc, Tom Benson's granddaughter and a part owner of the Saints. "But no city has been through more than New Orleans.

Still unclear: Where will the 2013 Pro Bowl be played? It's coming to Miami one week before this coming season's Super Bowl, then going back to Hawaii in 2011 and 2012. It wasn't part of the bidding process for the 2013 Super Bowl.

Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross congratulated New Orleans, but he also said he was "disappointed" that the 2013 game isn't coming to South Florida. Shortly after the vote was announced, local organizers said South Florida was hopeful of bidding for the 2014 Super Bowl as well. "I think South Florida is the best place for the Super Bowl," Ross said.

Louisiana lawmakers already have approved plans to spend $85 million in Superdome upgrades, which would be completed in time for the 2013 Super Bowl. The upgrades would include additional seating, new suites, wider concourses and other measures for the Saints to generate new revenue streams. "The membership heard from three great cities today and had some terrific alternatives," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.

The Superdome played an iconic role during Hurricane Katrina, which struck the city in August 2005. It was an evacuation center during the storm, housing thousands of people who had nowhere else to go. Within days, the building was tattered, filthy inside from mold, debris and raw sewage.
