Super Bowl returns to region

TAMPA — Tampa scored a major civic win Tuesday with the news that construction of a new stadium in Los Angeles for the NFL's Chargers and Rams will be delayed.

That because in response the to the delays, NFL owners voted to move Super Bowl LV in February 2021 from Los Angeles to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

"From our standpoint, we felt this was an appropriate thing to do," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says in a story posted on the NFL's website. "We were fortunate that Tampa had a very competitive presentation when they bid on the Super Bowl earlier (in 2016). So this was a solution the membership got on very quickly."
