Super Bowl XLIX will be the 49th Super Bowl , the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) between the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) champions. The game is scheduled to be played on February 1 2015 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri , home of the Kansas City Chiefs . NFL owners voted in November 2005 to award a Super Bowl to Kansas City in honor of Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt , who helped engineer the annual game when he was commissioner of the American Football League in the 1960s. NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced March 5 2006 , that Kansas City would host Super Bowl XLIX. The game was contingent on the successful passage of two sales taxes in Jackson County, Missouri on April 4 , 2006 . The first tax to fund improvements to Arrowhead and neighboring Kauffman stadiums passed with 53% approval. However, the second tax that would have allowed the construction of a rolling roof between the two stadiums was narrowly defeated, with 48% approval. Thus, the future of Kansas City playing host to Super Bowl XLIX is currently unclear. EXTERNAL LINKS
