Where is the Super Bowl being hosted and what is the capacity of the stadium?

Super Bowl 59 will take place at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The stadium hosted its first Super Bowl in 1978 and has staged the NFL’s championship game more times than any other stadium (seven).

This year will be the first time since 2013 that the game has been played in New Orleans and the 11th overall – a joint record with Miami – which is why the locals like to call it the ‘city of Super Bowls’.

Home to the New Orleans Saints, the Superdome opened in 1975 so this year’s Super Bowl coincides with the stadium’s 50th anniversary.

It has a capacity of about 75,000 and underwent a five-year renovation costing $560m (£458.7m), which was completed in time for this season.
