Editing Super Bowl XXXII (section)

===Host selection process===
NFL owners voted to award Super Bowl XXXII to San Diego during their October 26, 1993, meeting in [[Chicago]]. The bidding process was scheduled to award two Super Bowl sites ([[Super Bowl XXXI|XXXI]] and XXXII), the first time that multiple hosts were selected at the same meeting since [[Super Bowl XXIII|XXIII]] and [[Super Bowl XXIV|XXIV]] were voted on in 1985. This was the second time that San Diego hosted the game; the city previously hosted [[Super Bowl XXII|XXII]] ten years earlier. The Broncos played in both XXII and XXXII, the first franchise to play two different Super Bowls in the same stadium twice; they had already played twice at the [[Caesars Superdome|Superdome]] ([[Super Bowl XII|XII]] and [[Super Bowl XXIV|XXIV]]).

Four cities entered the bidding for the two games: [[New Orleans]] ([[Caesars Superdome|Superdome]]), [[San Diego]] ([[San Diego Stadium|Jack Murphy Stadium]]), [[Los Angeles]]/[[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]] ([[Rose Bowl (stadium)|Rose Bowl]]), and [[Tampa]] ([[Tampa Stadium]]). The New Orleans representatives bid only on XXXI, Los Angeles only bid on XXXII, while San Diego and Tampa made themselves available for both games. Rules required a candidate to receive a {{frac|3|4}} vote (21 of 28 owners) in order to win the bidding. If no winner received the necessary votes after three rounds, the fourth round would revert to a simple majority.<ref name="Trib010-27-1993pg112">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay faces long odds in securing 3rd Super Bowl (Part 1)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/144252986/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Joe|last=Frisaro|page=112|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=October 27, 1993|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref><ref name="Trib010-27-1993pg114">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay faces long odds in securing 3rd Super Bowl (Part 2)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/144253099/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Joe|last=Frisaro|page=114|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=October 27, 1993|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref>

New Orleans was selected for XXXI, at which time the voting for XXXII commenced. Tampa was eliminated during the first ballot, leaving San Diego and Los Angeles as the two finalists for XXXII. The prospects for Los Angeles suffered after [[Los Angeles Raiders|Raiders]] owner [[Al Davis]] left the meeting before the presentation. San Diego representatives, meanwhile promised to add 12,000 temporary seats to [[San Diego Stadium|Jack Murphy Stadium]] to counter the Rose Bowl's capacity advantage. In addition, since San Diego had not hosted the Super Bowl in a decade, and Pasadena had just hosted one nine months earlier, owners tipped towards San Diego. After two deadlocked rounds, San Diego won by simple majority on the fourth vote.<ref name="Trib010-28-1993pg24">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay loses Super Bowl bid (Part 1)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/144253635/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Joe|last=Frisaro|page=24|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=October 28, 1993|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref><ref name="Trib010-28-1993pg29">{{cite news|title=Tampa Bay loses Super Bowl bid (Part 2)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/144253688/|newspaper=The Tampa Tribune|first=Joe|last=Frisaro|page=29|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=October 28, 1993|accessdate=March 27, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref>
