Now, truth be told, I don't know a heck of a lot about football, but I am joined by someone who does.

Kavitha Davidson is the host of a podcast called Sportly, and she's here to help me out, potentially

you out as well.

Welcome back to the show, Kavitha.

Thank you for having me.

All right.

So I do know this much.

We have Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles.

Where is this game being played?

So this game is going to be in New Orleans at the Superdome, which is obviously an interesting site given the terror attack that happened on New Year's Day.

And, you know, it's also the 20th anniversary this year of Hurricane Katrina.

And the Superdome was obviously highly visible and a really important part of the efforts there. So,

you know, I think that the city of New Orleans is very excited for this and this should be a great

game and a great event for the town. The decision was made to hold it in New Orleans, I would

assume, before that terror attack there, terror attack there,

these decisions are made a long time in advance, right?

Yeah.

We actually, we know the cities that will be hosting the next four Super Bowls.

The NFL makes these decisions quite a few years in advance.

And, you know, there are a number of factors that go into that.

The Superdome has hosted quite a few Super Bowls in the past. Weather is a huge issue.
