The NFL threw NO a bone because of Katrina. Don't expect the same gift horse to shit in your lap again anytime soon, so long as they can use the carrot of a SB to get new stadiums built.

Atlanta getting the SB in a new stadium on your precious 300th whatever would just be so much icing on the cake!

Under the new bid process the city must file intent to bid by this August and in October the NFL will invite those cities it wishes to formally bid for the 2018 game. The bids will be due May of 2014. New Orleans has already committed to filing to bid. Indy has not yet.
