The Philadelphia Eagles are hopeful that their $125 million renovation to Lincoln Financial Field will help in their bid to host a Super Bowl.

Jeffrey Lurie first floated the idea in March.

"That wasn't the intention, but certainly when I'm on the Super Bowl committee, when you're bidding on a Super Bowl, the committee looks very closely at your stadium and your city and what you can host," Lurie said. "Philadelphia would be a great place."

The next four Super Bowls will be played in recently improved or brand new stadiums.
