Super Bowl
Although Hurricane Katrina damaged the Louisiana Superdome and the city of New Orleans, it was restored. The last game that Los Angeles area hosted was Super Bowl XXVII in 1993. In 1995, the league's two teams vacated the city: the Raiders moved back to Oakland, California, and the Rams moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Interestingly, neither team played in its home stadium. The San Francisco 49ers played Super Bowl XIX in Stanford Stadium and the Los Angeles Rams played Super Bowl XIV in the Rose Bowl.
The only other Super Bowl venue which wasn't the home stadium to an NFL team at the time was Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Houston Oilers used to play there, but they would move to the Astrodome several years prior to Super Bowl VIII. Super Bowl IX was the last NFL game played at this venue. Tulane Stadium was the first of three Super Bowl venues to have been demolished. The Stadium was torn down in 1979. The other stadiums include Tampa Stadium, torn down in 1999; and the Miami Orange Bowl torn down in 2008. The latter will be replaced by a new baseball stadium.
The Super Bowl tends to have high Nielsen television ratings. NFL press releases have stated that recent Super Bowls have been available to potential audiences of approximately one billion worldwide. Super Bowl XLII in 2008 holds the record for total U.S. viewership, attracting an average audience of 97.5 million. Although the proliferation of cable and satellite television has undercut broadcast ratings, the game is still sufficiently popular. A number of networks have to schedule original programming, such as halftime entertainment, during the game, simply to take advantage of a large viewership.
