19 Mayıs 2009 tarihinde NFL tarafındna yapılan seçmeler sonucu New Orleans seçilmiştir. Böylelikle şehir onuncu kez bir Super Bowl maçına ev sahipliği yapmış olur. 2005 yılındaki [[Katrina Kasırgası]]'ndan sonra Superdome'da yapılacak ilk Super Bowl maçıdır. Stadyum 2011 yılındaki kapsamlı inşaat bakım onarımından geçmiş, bu süreçte mali destek alınan Mercedes-Benz firması stadyuma adını vermiştir.
▲ New Orleans, Louisiana, on behalf of Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Glendale, Arizona, on behalf of University of Phoenix Stadium
▲ Miami Gardens, Florida, on behalf of Sun Life Stadium
The league then selected the New Orleans bid during the NFL's Spring Ownership Meetings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on May 19, 2009.[17] This was the tenth time that the city has hosted the Super Bowl, by far the most by an individual city and once again tying with the Miami area for the most Super Bowls hosted by a metropolitan area.[17] It was the first Super Bowl to be held in New Orleans since the Superdome sustained damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as well as since the naming rights of the Superdome were sold to Mercedes-Benz while it was undergoing a major renovation in 2011, including the addition of Champions Square.
Because of the February 3 date of Super Bowl XLVII, the 2013 Mardi Gras calendar in Orleans Parish was changed. Parades scheduled for February 3 and before were moved ahead one week. The same situation occurred in 2002 when the 9/11 attacks caused a one-week delay in the 2001 NFL season, resulting in the Super Bowl XXXVI falling within the Mardi Gras parade calendar.
This was the 49ers' second Super Bowl played at the Superdome—the first being Super Bowl XXIV when they beat the Denver Broncos 55–10. The 49ers, Broncos and New England Patriots are the only teams so far to play two or more Super Bowls at the Superdome. The 49ers also joined the Broncos and the Colts in playing two Super Bowls at two different stadiums. The 49ers won Super Bowls XXIII and XXIX in Miami at what is now known as Sun Life Stadium.
