The recent NFL Annual League Meeting revealed that the Super Bowl will return to Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium in 2029, five years after the city hosted its first Super Bowl, which featured the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
The infamous Super Bowl LVIII matchup was unique not only for being the first time the game was held at the Las Vegas home of the Raiders, but also for being the second to be decided in overtime. The memorable walk-off touchdown catch from Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman will forever be engraved in franchise history.
"Just winning the game, as an offense, we knew what we needed to win the game that was to score," said Hardman during an interview with Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. shortly after the game. "So that's
the mindset, focused too after they kicked the field goal, but we were locked in, laser focus, and just trying to complete the assignment at hand."
"It's amazing that a lot of guys play in this league and don't ever get a chance to go to the Super Bowl. Let alone win it three times," Hardman explained. "So you have to be grateful every time you get a chance to play in a Super Bowl and take advantage of that opportunity. So, I'm grateful to be with this organization for them to get me three rings, so it's been amazing."
Kansas City won 25-22, joining a rare list of back-to-back Super Bowl champions. Time will tell whether the franchise will return to the big game in 2029.
