As the Georgia Supreme Court upheld financing plans for a new $1.4 billion stadium in Atlanta, the city said Monday that it will indeed bid to host the Super Bowl in 2019 or 2020.

That confirms what Falcons owner Arthur Blank has said.

“The Super Bowl is one of those events that we look forward to getting involved in the bid process,” Dan Corso, executive director of the Atlanta Sports Council, told Sporting News.

Corso said the Atlanta Sports Council will “work closely and directly with the Falcons to facilitate that bid.”

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said finalists for the 2019 and 2020 Super Bowls will be unveiled at the league meeting in May. The host cities will be selected in May 2016.

The Supreme Court’s ruling Monday means the city can move forward with $200 million in bonds toward a stadium scheduled to open in 2017. Construction of the retractable roof stadium is under way.

Atlanta has hosted two Super Bowls, in 1995 and 2000, and the last one was tainted by an ice storm and the infamous murder case involving Ray Lewis.
