No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
The home team is the team that has a better overall record.However, there has yet to be a home field advantage because of the Super Bowl location being predetermined and no team yet making it to their own home turf for the Super Bowl.
No, there has not been. Although in the Super Bowl there is always a designated home team, there has yet to actually be a team that's hosted the Super Bowl on their own home field.
So far, no team has played on its home field in a Super Bowl.
The home team status alternates between American Football Conference and National Football Conference teams each year. In Super Bowl XLVI, the New England Patriots of the AFC were the home team and elected to wear their blue jerseys. As a result, the New York Giants of the NFC were required to wear white jerseys as the visiting team. But if the Dallas Cowboys were the Super Bowl home team, they would choose to wear white jerseys because their custom is to wear that color for most home games.
Home team is determined by the number of the Super Bowl and whether it is an odd number or an even number. If it is odd, the NFC team is the home team and, if it is even, the AFC team is the home team. Since the upcoming Super Bowl number (XLV/45) is odd, the NFC team will be the home team.
The NFC will where their home colors in the 2013 Super Bowl and will play in an NFC stadium.
The Indianapolis Colts are considered the "Home Team" for Super Bowl XLIV.
Yes. Super Bowls are awarded four years in advance, therefore, it is impossible to know who will be playing in the game. Should the Cowboys make it to Super Bowl XLV, they will play the game at their home stadium. In a similar vein, Super Bowl XLVI will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, and Super Bowl XLVII will be played at the Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints. Should the Colts make it to Super Bowl XLVI or the Saints make it to Super Bowl XLVII, they will play the game at their home stadium. Through Super Bowl XLIV, no team has played the Super Bowl game at their home stadium. The closest to that ever happening was the 1984 San Francisco 49ers playing in Superbowl XIX. The game was held in Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, California, which is only about 20 miles from San Francisco.
