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.
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.
It has never happened, although the 1979 Los Angeles Rams played the Pittsburgh Steelers at Pasadena's Rose Bowl in Super Bowl XIV. The Rams' home field at the time was Anaheim Stadium.
Black,Purple,red,and white.
Yes, he did. Ed Reed was part of the Baltimore Ravens championship winning team in Super Bowl XLVII.
The Atlanta Falcons were the home team for Super Bowl XLI.
No team has ever played a home field super bowl.
The Home Team will be the Greenbay Packers. Super Bowl 45 ends in a odd number. Odd numbers Home Team always goes to the NFC, hence even years goes to the AFC Team and the Home Team gets to choose what color Jersey they want to wear.
Yes. Super Bowls are awarded four years in advance, therefore, it is impossible to know who will be playing in the game. Should the Cowboys make it to Super Bowl XLV, they will play the game at their home stadium. In a similar vein, Super Bowl XLVI will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, and Super Bowl XLVII will be played at the Superdome, home of the New Orleans Saints. Should the Colts make it to Super Bowl XLVI or the Saints make it to Super Bowl XLVII, they will play the game at their home stadium. Through Super Bowl XLIV, no team has played the Super Bowl game at their home stadium. The closest to that ever happening was the 1984 San Francisco 49ers playing in Superbowl XIX. The game was held in Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, California, which is only about 20 miles from San Francisco.
So far, no team has played on its home field in a 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.
Not yet. Harbaugh, whose San Francisco 49ers team lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, has never won a Super Bowl as a player or head coach.
The Indianapolis Colts are considered the "Home Team" for Super Bowl XLIV.
