New stadium captured votes
In their comments after the vote, NFL owners and Goodell all singled out the new stadium, which is set to open for the Vikings' 2016 season.
"That won the day," Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. "The public really stepped up and supported in a major way a state-of-the-art stadium."
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan said the same, adding that awarding a Super Bowl to a city with a new stadium is "a great NFL tradition."
Goodell called the stadium the "distinguishing factor" in the Minneapolis bid.
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson said, "The thing that stood out to me was the commitment the people of Minnesota gave to the Vikings. The owners responded to that."
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis is trying to get public help for a new stadium. "It's an important message for those in the Bay Area - if you can get something done, you will be recognized for it," he said.
