Tampa was snubbed in their effort to host one of three upcoming Super Bowls.

The NFL awarded Super Bowls to Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles, three cities that made significant financial investments in new stadiums or recently upgraded an existing one.
 
Atlanta will host the game in 2019, followed by Miami (2020) and Los Angeles (2021), it was announced Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings.
 
Atlanta will host its third Super Bowl, but the first at its new $1.4 billion stadium which opens in 2017. The previous two were at the Georgia Dome.
 
Miami will have its record-setting 11th Super Bowl following a $450 million stadium renovation.
 
Los Angeles, which gets the relocated Rams this season, has not hosted a Super Bowl in the area since 1993 in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The game will be played at the new $2.6 billion stadium in Inglewood, California, which opens in 2019.

Tampa fell short in the three votes, despite a $100 million improvement plan that will bring new end zone scoreboards and new ribbon scoreboards along the facade of the upper deck of Raymond James Stadium.. The work is expected to be done in time for the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game to be held this January.

Buccaneers co-chairman Bryan Glazer issued a statement after the Tampa bids fell short.

“The Tampa Bay area has distinguished itself as a top Super Bowl host over the years. While today’s decision is disappointing, we remain confident that our area – with its rich sports history, strong tourism-based economy and ideal warm climate – will remain a strong contender for future consideration. We would also like to thank the many local leaders who have worked so tirelessly leading up to today’s vote for their assistance and dedication," Glazer said in the statement.

Next season's championship game, Super Bowl 51, will be held in Houston with Super Bowl 52 set for February 2018 in Minneapolis.
