I think you have to have a pretty big number of hotel rooms, not sure what that number is, but new it was part of the qualification.How are Super Bowl cities selected?
Edit: Just found this online:

The NFL has several criteria for selecting Super Bowl host cities, which range from the stadium itself to local alcohol laws and entertainment opportunities in the surrounding area. Here are a few of the many criteria needed to host the Super Bowl:
Market that hosts an NFL team
Minimum 70,000 seating capacity
Average gameday temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit
Dome (for stadiums that don't meet prior requirement)
Practice space of equal and comparable quality for both teams
Hotel spaces equaling 35 percent of stadium's capacity
Space for the Gameday Experience, NFL Experience
