Triple NFL plan reshapes Super Bowl sites and Pro Bowl moves
NFL owners agreed to host the 1973 Super Bowl in Los Angeles at the Coliseum and the 1974 game in Houston at Rice Stadium. The Pro Bowl will shift from Los Angeles to Dallas in 1973 and to an AFC site in 1974, with dates set for mid January across both years. The action came after a deadlock over the 1973 site and includes a proposed Pro Bowl rotation and gate-sharing deals with Los Angeles newspapers aiding charity. Houston’s bid also positions the city for its first Super Bowl hosting, while Los Angeles gains a 1973 Pro Bowl date and 1972 season symmetry. Williams Barnes notes a Romer bid worth about $20 million for Rams ownership.
