First loss ever for New Orleans, which is now 10 for 11 in Super Bowl bids

They're yelling, "History!" in the Minnesota bid room. Maybe because they're the first to ever defeat New Orleans (10 of 11).

#Vikings and Minnesota delegation emphasized the $498 million public money invested in the new stadium. Big money coming to area in 2018.

In al seriousness, kudos to the Minnesota bid committee. Bid must have been fantastic to overcome New Orleans sentiment.

I've got to admit, I thought New Orleans would win it. Heck of a job by Minneapolis' bid committee.

Minneapolis awarded Super Bowl 52; in '92, city was pleasant surprise host. Well-equpped cold-weather site. Game will be played with roof.

New Orleans contingent noting new stadium certainly helped Minny and they're OK with that much because it encourages public contributions.

Great point by @wyche89 on NFLN -- Wasn't long ago that Vikings were a candidate to land in LA. Amazing turnaround for the Twin Cities.

Raiders owner Mark Davis tells me Minnesota’s Super Bowl win is a “message that the league recognizes the (public) effort. A great message”
