The best one I went to was the one where the Pats filmed the walkthrough of.... ummm... I mean....played the Rams in New Orleans. What was great about the Super Bowl besides the game was that everything was in one area and all the outdoor activities. Everything was in the French quarter or in the surounding areas. You could walk to from bar to bar and find another Patriots crowd doing something. Every day you could go down to the warf an heckle Jon Gruden, Steve Young, and Sterling Sharpe while they broadcasted their Sportcenter segments. There were a bunch of outdoor concerts outside the Superdome before the game.
I guess they decided to play it in Indy because the league wants to be assured that the home team doesn't play in the Super Bowl.

I have been to the 4 superbowls this decade and the one in New Orleans was definitely the best site. So good we even flew in to New Orleans for SB38 and hung there for a day or two before driving over to houston.
IMO Houston, Jacksonville, and Arizona were lame places compared to New Orleans. I think it should be in New Orleans every year.
IMO other than wether Indy is just as dull as those 3 spots.
Final IMO, It is about the game and I like the idea of playing in the new Stadiums.....The best part of the trips other than the games and New Orleans was being able to see the new stadiums in Zona and Houston.....jacksonville just shouldnt have had it, average Stadium below average site, only thing they had was wheather.
