Charlotte's downtown holds 6,800 hotel rooms. The city needs 10,000 rooms to host a Super Bowl, per Charlotte Center City Partners. "The real issue with Super Bowls now is the number of hotel rooms, quality hotel rooms, and other facilities," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said, according to Axios. A $1.3 billion stadium overhaul is underway, which could put Charlotte in position to host the NFL Draft and Super Bowl. This puts visitors close to game-day activities, fan festivals, and other happenings scattered across the host city during Super Bowl week.
