Super Bowl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2013 – Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana (10)
2014 – MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey (1)
2015 – University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona (2)

Each of these places provides a unique opportunity to add even extra meaning to a Super Bowl victory. Allow me a moment in the dullest part of the offseason to dream a little:

Winning NOLA where the journey began - who wouldn't want to relive that?

Winning in New York/New Jersey - well, that would do some good in easing the pain of the last two SB losses.

And finally, winning in Glendale - the place where history escaped us...I don't want to envision Brady's career ever ending, and I think he has 5 or 6 years left in him. But let's just say if it ended in the desert in February 2015 with a win, it would be an awfully poetic way to go out top.

Three seasons - three interesting Super Bowl host sites from a Patriots perspective. Three chances to get ring #4 and put to bed some of the troubling last minute losses of the last half decade. I look forward to this unique opportunity and feel confident the Patriots will be involved in one of these games.

lets just get rings 4 5 and 6 there.

Very nice thought. Heck, I'd take a Super Bowl win in Siberia, but wins in those places would certainly be meaningful. (Winning in Indy would have been so sweet, but just seeing the Pats there was a worthwhile consolation). The team is loaded up for a nice run (after going 14-2 and 13-3 while rebuilding) and the primary AFC contenders seem to be in various states of decline/rebuilding. Won't be easy, but doable.

As a side note: I believe three of the past four SBs in the Superdome have featured the Patriots. Nice tradition there.

Well put.

I think a decade from now we'll look back and see the loss in Indy was the beginning of a new stretch of excellence - not the end. This team is clearly on the rise and has another stretch of AFC dominance in it as long as Brady as healthy.

The NFC is the stronger conference by a huge margin, but the Patriots control their own destiny in the AFC as long as #12 is healthy and performing at an All-Pro level.

Winning a Super Bowl in NY would be possibly the greatest Boston sports event of all time. I know that's some serious hyperbole, but for the majority of our sporting history, NY has been the hammer, Boston the nail.

I'd love to end the journey in Phoenix as well. N.O. would be poetic, although I think none of us want the ride to end so soon.

As I like to tell my friends who are fans of other teams, "Well...the Patriots rebuilding process is over."

I don't care if they win the next ones on the moon.

You're SO 1960s.

It's the asteroids this century.

Obviously I'd love to see the Pats win next year because I would get to really experience the whole thing now much better than last time it was in NO when I was a broke 18 year old that couldnt afford to get into the game. That said I would trade it to win in New York the year after, that would be epic. The thread on Jets Insider during and after the game would be the greatest thing in the history of the internet.

The best thing about the Super Bowl being held in 2014 in NY/NJ is that the home team has never made it to the Super Bowl (0-46) so the Jets and Giants might as well take the year off and forget the season
