Jerry Jones wants a do-over. (AP Photo)</span></div> <!--INFOLINKS_ON--> <h2> Santa Clara, Calif. </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> The 49ers' new stadium will open in 2014 or 2015, the first new football stadium in California since the 1960s. A Super Bowl has traditionally gone to new stadiums, especially in warm weather spots. This pick would also return the game to the Golden State for the first time since the 2003 game in San Diego. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> Not many. The NFL may want to award the game to one of its more-traditional host cities, and a Super Bowl here would also be quite spread out, stretching from Santa Clara to San Francisco. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Good </p><h2> New Orleans </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> Will be tied with Miami at 10 after next year for having hosted the most Super Bowls. The NFL may want to recognize one of its best Super Bowl cities with the historic game. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> The game will have just been in New Orleans three years earlier (2013). The league prefers more spacing. </p><p> <strong><br/>Odds:</strong> Good </p><h2> Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> Huge Cowboys Stadium offers great financial reward to the NFL, it's a major market, and hey, the weather can't be as bad as it when hosting last year- can it? </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> The NFL is still feeling the effects of the 2011 fiasco, with a federal lawsuit pending against the team and league for seating problems. The region also would have to prove it can be better prepared for weather emergencies. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Average (It would be worse, but it may be hard for owners to ignore 100,000 seats priced around $1,000.) </p><h2> Tampa </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> Warm weather, has hosted the fourth-most Super Bowls at four and has lost several recent bids, so it could be seen as next in line. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> Downtown Tampa, hardly glamorous, may not be seen as the iconic destination for the 50th game. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Average </p><h2> Miami </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> One of the favorite Super Bowl destinations for visitors. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> The NFL has all but ruled out more Super Bowls here until the stadium is renovated. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Slight </p><h2> Indianapolis </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> All hail, Indy, the upstart Super Bowl host that blew the socks off everyone earlier this month. The city rewrote the script for staging this event and set the bar higher. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> While Indy certainly appears ready to now bid for another game, it may be too quick a turnaround to get ready for a bid in the coming months. Also, the city will have to address the issue of hotel price gouging, a concern certain to be even more pronounced for the 50th game. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Slight </p><h2> Los Angeles </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> Host of the first Super Bowl and six thereafter, the most recent in 1993. The NFL's been trying to get back to the City of Angels since the Rams and Raiders left town after the 1994 season. </p><p> <strong>Cons:</strong> Unless there is a new stadium and team here, this seems unlikely. While those developments could occur by 2016, the league is likely to award the game in the coming months. </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Slight </p><h2> London </h2><p> <strong>Pros:</strong> What better way to take the NFL international than to stage the 50th Super Bowl at Wembley Stadium. Can you imagine the commissioner's Super Bowl party at the Tower of London?! </p><p> Cons: Hard to imagine owners giving up the opportunity to host this game. If the NFL won't put Super Bowls in cities with unresolved stadium issues, how does it put the historic 50th game in one without an NFL team (see L.A.)? </p><p> <strong>Odds:</strong> Extremely remote </p> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> <a name="comments" class="anchor">Comments</a> <div class="containerHeader"> <h2>Share Your Comment</h2> </div> <div class="facebook-comments" style="margin: 10px 0px 20px 0px;"> <fb:comments width="650" href="http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-02-13/super-bowl-l-site-by-site-look-at-2016-possibilities" numposts="10"></fb:comments> </div> </div> <div class="rightColumn sidebar"> <div class="mainDlAd sidebarItem"> <div id="sn_ad"> <script type="text/javascript"> var dart_array = {}; dart_array.site_key_name = 'spn.nfl'; dart_array.zone = 'article'; dart_array.pos = 'right1'; dart_array.tile = '2'; dart_array.sz = '300x250'; dart_array.slug = 'super-bowl-l-site-by-site-look-at-2016-possibilities'; dart_array.page = '1119049'; dart_array.story_sport = 'nfl'; dart_array.sport = 'nfl'; dart_array.zone = 'article'; dart_array.cmn = 'sn'; dart_array.comp = adid; dart_array.tag = 'roadblock'; dart_array.domain_url = 'https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424/http://a.collective-media.net'; DART.init(dart_array); DART.buildScript(); </script> <noscript> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424/http://a.collective-media.net/adj/spn.nfl/article;pos=right1;tile=2;sz=300x250;slug=super-bowl-l-site-by-site-look-at-2016-possibilities;page=1119049;story_sport=nfl;sport=nfl;zone=article;cmn=sn;ord=639633173" target="_blank"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424im_/http://a.collective-media.net/ad/spn.nfl/article;pos=right1;tile=2;sz=300x250;slug=super-bowl-l-site-by-site-look-at-2016-possibilities;page=1119049;story_sport=nfl;sport=nfl;zone=article;cmn=sn;ord=639633173" width="300" height="250" border="0" alt=""/> </a> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="containerHeader"> <h2>NFL Trending Topics</h2> </div> <div class="sidebarItem trendingTopics"> <div class="curated-content trending-topics"> <ul> <li class="clearfix"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424/http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-02-14/joe-flacco-baltimore-ravens-free-agent-scouting-combine"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424im_/http://dy.snimg.com/story-image/3/73/1149620/78259-106-85.jpg" width="96" height="72" alt=""/> <span class="headline"> Joe Flacco contract extension talks expected to begin </span> <span class="time"> Tuesday Feb 14 </span> </a> </li> <li class="clearfix"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424/http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-02-14/peyton-manning-to-texans-dont-bet-the-ranch-on-it"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120214232424im_/http://dy.snimg.com/story-image/5/77/1149818/78260-106-85.jpg" width="96" height="72" alt=""/> <span class="headline"> Peyton Manning to Texans?
