PHOENIX (March 25, 2003 9:35 p.m. EST) - The committee trying to lure the Super Bowl back to Arizona made its presentation to NFL owners Tuesday and sounded confident about its chances for 2008 or 2009.
"Our pitch was really about getting the award for 2008," chairman Greg Holmes said. "We did say that, if necessary, 2009 is a year we would be prepared for, but 2008 is our desire. It would be ideal, and we will be ready by then."
