No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
Yes, but not by how well they play but by the luck of the draw. Stadiums that are chosen to host a Super Bowl are selected four years in advance of the game they will host. Therefore, it is possible that a team could play a Super Bowl in it's home stadium. Super Bowl XLV will be held in the Cowboys Stadium, Super Bowl XLVI in the Colts stadium, Super Bowl XLVII in the Saints stadium, and Super Bowl XLVIII in the Giants/Jets stadium. If the Cowboys make the Super Bowl this year (2010), the Colts next year, the Saints two years from now, or the Giants/Jets three years from now they will, in essence, being playing a home game.
No. The Green Bay Packers of the National Football Conference are considered to be the home team. In the 2012 Super Bowl, the American Football Conference champion will be designated the home team.
There is no home and away teams in the super Bowl, only home and away uniforms.
The NFC
Through Super Bowl XLII: 1) Super Bowl XXXIV - St. Louis Rams - played home games at the Trans World Dome (now known as the Edward Jones Dome). 2) Super Bowl XLI - Indianapolis Colts - played home games at the RCA Dome.
In the Super Bowl, the AFC is the home team in even numbered games and the NFC is the home team in odd numbered games. This being Super Bowl 44 (XLIV), an even number, the Colts are designated as the home team.
The Atlanta Falcons were the home team for Super Bowl XLI.
Super Bowl XLV, which was played on February 6, 2011, was played in Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas. This is the stadium in which the Dallas Cowboys play home games. It was the largest domed stadium to host a Super Bowl.
No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
No team has ever played a Super Bowl in its home stadium, although there are a couple of instances in which clubs played near their neighborhoods. In Super Bowl XIV, the Los Angeles Rams, who played their home games in Anaheim Stadium, clashed with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. In Super Bowl XIX, the San Francisco 49ers, whose home turf was Candlestick Park, played the Miami Dolphins at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, California.
So far, no team has played on its home field in a Super Bowl.
It's happened twice. Sort of. Super Bowl XIV was held in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The host team was the Los Angeles Rams (although they didn't play their home games at the Rose Bowl), who lost to the Steelers in that game. Then, Super Bowl XVIX was held at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto. The host team was the San Francisco 49ers (although they didn't play their home games at Stanford). The Niners beat Denver in that Super Bowl.
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.
