Super Bowl 59 will mark the eighth time the Superdome has hosted NFL's crowning event, the most of any stadium in the history of the game. It's also the 11th time the city has hosted the Super Bowl. The first three Super Bowls were played at Tulane Stadium, which ties New Orleans with Miami for the most of any city.

The 50-year-old stadium has hosted fewer Super Bowls in recent decades, and competition for the big game is only increasing.

Approximately 2,000 law enforcement officers will be present for the Super Bowl, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told reporters Wednesday. No vehicle traffic will be allowed on the Bourbon Street, and the city will block intersections leading to the most popular areas, Kirkpatrick said.
