ATLANTA -- Build it and the Super Bowl will come. Caleb Joseph Jersey . That message rang loud and clear Tuesday when Minneapolis was awarded the 2018 game after a vote by owners rewarded the city for its new stadium deal. The owners chose Minneapolis and the $1 billion stadium planned for the site of the old Metrodome to host the championship over New Orleans and Indianapolis. "In large part, it was due to recognition of the great work theyve done on the stadium," Commissioner Roger Goodell noted. "Its been 10 years and weve always been driving to build a stadium," Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said. "We can rejoice right now for being rewarded this, but the hard work comes now." New Orleans bid committee members were certain the new Minneapolis stadium, set to open in 2016, swung the vote. The stadium will hold up to 72,000 for the Super Bowl. "The new stadium was absolutely the deciding factor," Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation President Jay Cicero said. "Any time that there is so much public support for a $1 billion stadium, the NFL owners are impressed. "We did everything we were supposed to do, had a fantastic presentation. In the end we think the stadium did it." The big game will be staged in the Twin Cities for the second time. It was there in 1992, when Washington beat Buffalo. It will be there in 2018 because the Vikings lobbied for years to replace the aging Metrodome, one of the NFLs least profitable facilities. When Minnesota political leaders realized the team could move out of state without a new home, the stadium project moved forward. Legislators in 2012 approved the stadium, with taxpayers carrying about 56 per cent of the freight. Owners needed four ballots to choose Minneapolis, with Indianapolis the first city eliminated. Indy was praised for a highly successful 2012 Super Bowl, but could have been hurt by the recent legal troubles of Colts owner Jim Irsay. Irsay underwent treatment after he was arrested and accused of having $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his car. He made his first public appearance at these meetings since the arrest. Irsay said Indianapolis will bid again. "Before, we had to lose one to get one," he said, noting Indy fell short in previous bids before landing the 2012 game. "It will take persistence and we know we have the type of people who will be that." New Orleans was considered the favourite and has staged the Super Bowl 10 times, tied with South Florida for the most. Its bid might have been damaged by the blackout that interrupted the 2013 title game. Next years game is in Glendale, Arizona, followed by Santa Clara, California, for the 50th Super Bowl, then Houston. Earlier at their spring meetings, NFL owners tabled any vote expanding the playoffs to 14 teams. There is strong sentiment among the owners to add a wild-card team in each conference to the post-season, most likely beginning in 2015. Under such a setup only the team with the best record in each conference will get a week off at the beginning of the playoffs. Goodell said it will be discussed again in October. "I do believe it will be approved for the 2015 season," he said. New York Giants owner John Mara is against adding more playoff teams. "I dont think its a sure thing at all," Mara said. "Its probably more likely than not, but nothing is set in stone. There was no straw poll taken. ... I think its good the way we have it." The players union says it needs to be consulted on an expanded post-season, and Goodell said he spoke with NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith two weeks ago about it. Also Tuesday: --A committee examining the time, length and site of the draft reported to the owners. The NFL will consider whether to keep it in May. It drew record TV ratings this year after it was moved back two weeks from its usual late April slot. It also will look into adding a fourth day and moving it from its traditional spot in New York to a variety of NFL cities, with a dozen already having expressed interest; "If I was king of the world, Id put it right back where it was," Mara said, referring to the April dates. --Goodell said that had HGH testing been implemented, 104 other cases under the leagues drug policy would have been heard by an independent arbitrator, with 21 players being referred to the first level of the drug program rather than being suspended. The NFL and players union agreed to HGH testing in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, but the union first balked at the procedures for testing, then at Goodell having the final say on appeals. The NFLPA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. --New director of football operations Troy Vincent hired three advisers, including Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary. Vincent, a former All-Pro defensive back, also hired former NFL player and coach Jimmy Raye and former player and general manager Mike Reinfeldt. Among other chores, the three new hires will serve as liaisons to league coaches and front-office personnel. Chris Tillman Jersey .

Compton was nicked out for 1 in Englands first innings and could only muster 19 in Englands second innings, before edging Shaminda Eranga to Dinesh Chandimal behind the stumps.Despite rebuilding his international career during the winter tour to South Africa, Compton has averaged 28.70 in 30 innings for England, while his highest score for Middlesex this season has been just 44. Its a bit of déjà vu in the dismissal, similar to most in the series - pushing forward, a little late, and on the heels of his feet, Atherton told Sky Sports. A dismayed Compton on the Lords balcony He just hasnt got going this season, he hasnt got a fifty in any form of cricket this year. He had his opportunity still, when many judges thought he wouldnt get picked for this series.Hes had three games, but not taken that opportunity, and Im afraid I think that will be it for Nick Compton. Somebody else will be given a go against Pakistan.Its a cruel game at times, but you have to perform, otherwise someone else will come in and perform in place of you. That is the brutal truth of sport.His career average of 28.70, and particularly his average of 12.75, at the age he is, 32, its time for other players like Scott Borthwick, who will be pushing for a place now.. Frank Robinson Jersey. The series victory in South Africa bought him time, but it only buys you so much time, and at the end of the day you have to perform. Hes had that opportunity, but has just not got going this year.It has also been a frustrating Test match for Hampshire skipper James Vince. James Vince looks back at his broken wickets after being bowled by Nuwan Pradeep The 25-year-old managed just 10 before being clean bowled by Nuwan Pradeep in Englands first innings and was dismissed the same way by the Sri Lankan right-hander in the second innings for a first-ball duck.The jury is out [on Vince] but hell play against Pakistan, Atherton said.What we know happens though is that Compton will go, someone else comes in and then the pressure transfers to someone like James Vince.Hell get his opportunity against Pakistan, but he needs runs and there will be pressure to perform.Watch live coverage of day four of the third Investec Test from 10.30am on Sunday on Sky Sports 2.
