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.
