Sometimes there is no home team.
Nobody because the game is being played in Florida. The two teams playing are Indianapolis and New Orleans
The Atlanta Falcons were the home team for Super Bowl XLI.
No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
I can't really answer that but can say that the Super Bowl determines 'home team' status by the year. In odd numbered years the NFC is the home team; in even numbered years the AFC is the home team.
There has never been a team to play a Super Bowl on their home field. The closest was Super Bowl XIV when the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Los Angeles Rams at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. and Super Bowl XIX when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Miami Dolphins at Stanford Stadium. The NFL awards the Super Bowl to a city four years in advance. If a team won their conference championship and the Super Bowl was scheduled on their home field, the game would go on as planned.
NFC teams are the home team in odd numbered years. AFC teams are the home team in even numbered years. The stadium is determined years in advance and has nothing to do with which teams are playing.
So far, no team has played on its home field in a Super Bowl.
The Indianapolis Colts are considered the "Home Team" for Super Bowl XLIV.
NFC teams are the home team in odd numbered years. AFC teams are the home team in even numbered years. Since the upcoming Super Bowl will be played in 2008, the AFC team will be the home team.
49ers
The home team designation for the Super Bowl alternates each year. As a result, the representative of the National Football Conference -- the San Francisco 49ers -- will serve as the home team for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
Yes. Super Bowl venues are selected four years in advance. As of Super Bowl XLII it has never happened, however, if a team makes the Super Bowl in the year their stadium is scheduled to hold the Super Bowl the game would go on as planned.
The role of the home team will be played by the Indianapolis Colts since they have the better record. They get to chose the colors they will wear.
