Where was the first Super Bowl played in a dome?

Answer 1

No. Generally, they are played in towns where the winter weather is mild. This makes it tough for a cold weather city to host a Super Bowl unless there is a domed stadium. There have been five domed stadiums that have hosted Super Bowls. The Superdome in New Orleans has hosted six, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta has hosted two, and the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan, Ford Field in Detroit, and the Metrodome in Minnesota have hosted one each.

Answer 2

This year, it will be. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana has a retractable roof. The NFL requires a Super Bowl site that has an average high temperature less than 50 degrees be a dome. On the exception, though...the NFL chose MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the site of Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. The league waived it's "50 degree" rule to allow the game to be played just outside of New York City.

This is obviously not the first time a Super Bowl Game will be played indoors. Several sites, like the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the Pontiac Silverdome in suburban Detroit, Ford Field in downtown Detroit, University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and even the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota (now known as "Mall of America Field" have hosted Super Bowl games.

Super Bowl XLVII (47) will take place at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana in February of 2013.
