The greatest spectacle in American sports returns to South Florida as Miami makes final preparations to host Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007, when the top teams in the National Football Conference (NFC) & American Football Conference (AFC) will battle for the National Football League (NFL) championship. More than 125,000 people are expected to descend upon Miami for Super Bowl XLI & – just as Super Bowl tickets are a rare commodity these days – Miami area hotel rooms have been filling up fast & many top online hotel providers are already running low on inventory.Approximately 90,000 hotel rooms are available throughout South Florida – from Miami to West Palm Beach.
However, the NFL has already reserved approximately one out of five hotel rooms in South Florida to accommodate its staff & sponsors, as well as the media, for Super Bowl XLI. In addition, many Miami hotels have imposed a 3- to 4-night minimum stay during Super Bowl XLI week (& at least one luxury hotel in Miami has imposed a seven-night minimum!). Some hotels also have doubled – & in some cases tripled – their normal room rates for guests during Super Bowl XLI week.Location is definitely a key consideration when you research the appropriate hotel to book during your stay in Miami for Super Bowl XLI. The Super Bowl itself will take place at Dolphin Stadium (the home field of the Miami Dolphins) in Miami Gardens, which lies 16 miles Northwest of downtown Miami. Therefore, Bal Harbour, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach (including bustling South Beach), downtown Miami & other Miami area locales provide easy access to Super Bowl XLI, while offering a myriad of recreational opportunities during your stay.
