Super Bowl Tickets

Super Bowl Tickets

Super Bowl XLVII will return to Superdome in 2013, bringing the biggest game in the NFL back to New Orleans for the first time in 11 years. Obviously, it has been far too long since Super Bowl tickets have been available here, and in that time the Superdome has gone from the Louisiana Superdome to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, with the sponsorship taking effect just in time for the football game on February 3, 2013.

Overall, this will be the seventh time the Super Bowl will be played at the venue. The first time was back in 1978 when the Dallas Cowboys beat the Denver Broncos 27-10 in Super Bowl XII. The last time was back in 2002 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trounced the Oakland Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVIII. A historical look at the history of the Super Bowl at the Superdome suggests the NFC representative will decimate the AFC representative. The NFC has gone 4-2 in the venue and has oftentimes won big.

These big wins include the Bears winning by 36 against the Patriots, the 49ers winning by 45 against the Broncos, the previously mentioned 27-point win by the Bucs. The one NFL team that may not want to play in this game is the Denver Broncos, who are the number one seed in the AFC. Peyton Manning or no Peyton Manning, the franchise would enter Super Bowl 47 having lost twice in two trips to New Orleans for this end of the season game. A quarterback celebrated by the franchise, Craig Morton, and a quarterback celebrated by the NFL, John Elway, have each come up short.  The other AFC favorite, the New England Patriots, have had just as many troubles, having gone 1-2 at the Superdome, though the last time the franchise played in the Super Bowl at the Superdome, Tom Brady gave the Pats their first Super Bowl victory.

Though the Packers and the 49ers have both been NFC representatives at these games in New Orleans and one, it can hardly be said they have the kind of history as those teams in the AFC. The only team in the NFC that seems to have an affinity at playing in the Super Bowl in the Superdome is absent from the 2013 NFL playoffs. That team is the Dallas Cowboys. Though, come February 3, 2013, the 49ers or the Packers may be able to have won enough Super Bowls at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to have started a tradition of their own.
