The stadium is determined years in advance and has nothing to do with which teams are playing.
The designated "home team" alternates between the NFC team in odd-numbered games (the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV in February 2011), and the AFC team in even-numbered games (the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010).
This alternation was initiated with the first Super Bowl, when the Green Bay Packers of the NFL were the designated home team.
Since Super Bowl XIII in January 1979, the home team is given the choice of jerseys, colored or white. Formerly, the designated home team was specified to wear their colored jerseys; this resulted in Dallas donning their less familiar blue jerseys for Super Bowl V.
While most of the home teams in the Super Bowl have chosen to wear their colored jerseys, there have been four exceptions; the Cowboys twice (XIII & XXVII), the Washington Redskins (XVII), and the Pittsburgh Steelers (XL). The Cowboys (since 1965) and Redskins (since the arrival of coach Joe Gibbs in 1981) have traditionally worn white jerseys at home. Meanwhile, the Steelers, who have always worn their black jerseys at home since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, opted for the white jerseys after winning three consecutive playoff games on the road, wearing white. The Steelers' decision was contrasted with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The Patriots had worn white jerseys at home during the 1985 season, but after winning road playoff games against the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins wearing red jerseys, New England opted to wear red for the Super Bowl as the designated home team.
Based on a rotation schedule, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football Conference will be considered the home team, so they are likely to choose their green jerseys. The Pittsburgh Steelers of the American Football Conference are likely to wear white jerseys. In 2012, the AFC champion will be considered the home team.
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 home team designation alternates between National Football Conference and American Football Conference teams. The Green Bay Packers of the NFC will be the home team for Super Bowl XLV. In 2012, the AFC champion will be the home team.
The team with the best record in the AFC or the NFC gets the home team colors in the sper bowl.
