The NFL doesn't like to hold Super Bowls in outdoor stadiums, like CenturyLink Field, in cold-weather cities like Seattle. The one in the Meadowlands was the first they'd had.
Qwest Field has a seating capacity of 67,000 for Seattle Seahawks games.
So far, no team has played on its home field in a Super Bowl.
Farmer's Field
Two field goals were made in Super Bowl XLV. There was one field goal for each team.
The Seahawks have played their home games at Qwest Field since the 2002 season. The stadium was renamed CenturyLink Field in June 2011 after the acquisition of Qwest by CenturyLink.
Seahawks Stadium opened on July 28, 2002. It was renamed Qwest Field on June 23, 2004, and then renamed CenturyLink Field in June 2011 when CenturyLink bought Qwest Communications.
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.
No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
