Dear Don:
(303) 3t9=3303
Thank you very much for your notification concerning the time when
bids will be accepted for the 1981 Super Bowl game.
I would like to convey very strongly that we are most interested in
bidding on the game, and, in fact, intend to win not only the 1981
game but as many future games as we possibly can. We look forward
to a further communication from you regarding a pre -presentation
conference, and you may rest assured that we will work with the
National Football League as closely as possible regarding your needs
and desires.
I am forwarding a copy of this letter to Maurice Ferre and his
colleagues in the City of Miami, and I have no doubt that they
will continue their outstanding cooperation with the league in
an effort to make the Super Bowl even more exciting and interesting
in 1981.

Dear Steve:
FOOL BALL LEAGUE
NEW YORK, N.Y. 100 / + PL636 64000
May 17# 1978
This is formal notification that we will not entertain presentations for
the January 1981 Super Bowl game until the next annual meeting of the League
in Honolulu next March. The annual meeting begins at the Royal Hawaiian on
Monday, March 12, and if past practices are followed, the presentations will
be held on Tuesday morning, March 13, with a decision anticipated later that
day.
Realize March is down the road a bit but it would help if you could indicate
as soon as convenient whether Miami would expect to make a presentation. We
would like to draw up an early list of cities interested in order to arrange
a pre -presentation meeting at which some critera could be discussed. Among
the areas we would like to investigate are:
1. Firm and binding advance commitments, including rates, from area hotels
at each potential site.
2. Firm and binding commitments from transportation companies, including rates
for an availability of busses, limousines, taxis and rental cars.
3. Availability of local coordinator or two or three person Super Bowl Task
Force with whom the NFL's Super Bowl staff could maintain regular contact
in pre -game planning taking place between the award of the game and the
game itself.
Quite frankly, problems have been developing particularly in these areas in recent
years, and it is imperative that groups making presentations for the Super Bowl
have a clear understanding with the League itself as to the existence of binding
commitments at the time the presentations are made. We can get into deeper detail
regarding these problems after we have your expression of interest in the 1981
game.
For your advance planning, the likely date of the 1981 game is either January 25
or possibly January 18.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
J WEISS
Executive Director
