Pittsburgh Wants To Host 2023 Super Bowl

PITTSBURGH (KDKA)-- The city with more Super Bowl trophies than any other says they want to host the 2023 Super Bowl.

Steelers President Art Rooney II has submitted an application to the NFL for Pittsburgh to be under consideration.

According to Mark Belko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rooney II and Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto held a meeting today to discuss the idea of bidding for Super Bowl LVII, which would occur in 2023.

This comes after the Steelers submitted an application to the NFL during the owners meeting in May to get permission to bid on the event.

"We met this morning with local community leaders to provide an update on formally submitting our application to the NFL to bid for Super Bowl LVII in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania," said Rooney in a statement. "The application is an early step in the bidding process, and we will continue to meet with representatives of the Mayor's Office, County Executive's Office, VisitPittsburgh, Allegheny Conference as well as other community leaders to review the requirements with the hopes of submitting our bid to host Super Bowl LVII in 2023."

According to the Steelers' website, the league will determine a list of finalists and will allow those teams to submit formal bids in 2018.
