Fans arrive at MetLife Stadium prior to Super Bowl XLVIII between the Broncos and Seahawks.
Giants co-owner John Mara left little doubt that New York-New Jersey will be pursuing another Super Bowl in the future.
He said a few hours before kickoff of Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium that he is not sure when the bid will be made, but officials will sit down and talk about it.

John Mara says he’d like the New York/New Jersey area to host the Super Bowl every ten years.
“I think you’d be pretty safe to say we’ll be looking to do this again,” Mara said. “I’ve just had such positive feedback from so many different owners that I think we should do it again.”
Last week, Jonathan Tisch, the Giants co-owner and co-chairman of the NY-NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, said he would like the Super Bowl to be in New York-New Jersey every 10 years. Roger Goodell has been noncommittal about another Super Bowl in a cold weather city, but if the league owners agree to do it again, New York will have competition from cities like Philadelphia, Denver and Boston.

“There are a lot of worthy cities, but let’s face it, there is only one area like this in the world,” Mara said. “I think the other owners see that all the positives that have come out of this week. I think that’s a huge advantage in our favor.”
