The super bowl location was chosen because the NFL met with city and made a grand gesture to give them the super bowl to show the city was ready to bounce back host events. It was a pretty huge deal at the time. You probably forgot.

The 300th birthday of New Orleans is a big deal as well and something the NFL owners would like to piggy-back on. Deals will be made. Remember, it is not some nebulous being called the NFL that selects the site, it is the 32 owners themselves. Benson wants this badly for New Orleans and only needs a majority of the votes.
