THE SIDELINES : S.F. Won’t Seek ’93 Super Bowl
- Share via
SAN FRANCISCO — Because a large convention of television executives is already booked, San Francisco has decided against bidding for the 1993 Super Bowl, Mayor Art Agnos’ office announced.
San Francisco was one of four Western cities invited by the NFL to enter bids.
Agnos said Wednesday in a letter to the NFL that San Francisco could offer only about half of the 11,500 top-grade hotel rooms required by the league for Super Bowl week in January of 1993.
Agnos said the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau told him that hosting the Super Bowl then would be impossible because of the previously scheduled meeting of the National Assn. of Television Program Executives.
San Francisco hosted the 1985 Super Bowl, played in Stanford Stadium and won by the San Francisco 49ers.
