With Super Bowl fever in the air, Houston will try once again to bring the game back to Reliant Stadium.
Houston's business and hospitality industry leaders, along with local government officials, will make a bid to host Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012.
The Texans hosted Super Bowl XXXVIII in February 2004. In the next three years, the Super Bowl will be held in Tampa (2009), Miami (2010) and Dallas (2011).
"When I received the bid specifications from the NFL, I circulated them to leaders in the community to get their response," Texans owner Robert C. McNair said. "Their response was an overwhelming and totally committed, 'Yes, we want to bring the 2012 Super Bowl to Houston.' With that, I said I would totally support our community's efforts."
Houston may have trouble winning the bid since Dallas will host the game at its new stadium in 2011. But Houston officials are hopeful they can lure the game to Texas two years in a row.
