PHOENIX -- Fresh off a successful Super Bowl, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee has confirmed it will submit a bid for another NFL championship in 2012.

The bid was confirmed Thursday night by host committee chairman Mike Kennedy, with Arizona Cardinals President Michael Bidwill and Gov. Janet Napolitano offering their support.

The host committee needs to submit the bid to the NFL by April 1. The following month, team owners will decide on the host city.

Arizona is expected to compete with Indianapolis and Houston for the big game. However, host committee members said they feel confident of winning another Super Bowl.

Arizona wastes little time going after another Super Bowl

This is the only way the city can celebrate a superbowl win.....host it.

Ouch, harsh. True, but harsh.

I can certainly understand financially why they want another, but I'd hope the NFL would spread it around a little more than this.

Wrestlemania is the Super Bowl of wrestling, but wrestling isn't that big any more. Some people love it though ahd wanted to watch.

Hate to disagree with you, bears... but Wrestlemania weekend is big. Not quite the even that the Super Bowl is, but with the Hall of Fame ceremonies and the other events (I believe it's three days worth of activities, right?), it certainly pulls in a lot of tourists and thus a lot of income for the area.
