Has a team playing in the Super Bowl ever played the game in their own stadium?
819875
According to wikipedia, no team has ever played the Super Bowl in their own stadium BUT the L.A. Rams got to play Super Bowl XIV (14) in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl, and the 49ers got to play Super Bowl XXVII (27) at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto.\n\nThat's about as close as it's gotten...maybe Indianapolis will someday get to play the Super Bowl in their own stadium, though.  They're almost good enough to make the Super Bowl now.  :)

Part of it is so that no team has home-field advantage, as other people said. That's important since it's just one game. Other sports have a championship series where three games are at one place and four are at the other. Both teams get a pretty even shot. You can't do that with the Super Bowl.\n\nThe other reason is the amount of people who go to the Super Bowl. You have tons of media, advertisers, team representatives, and other people who come in for just this one event whether they go to the game or not. They all need hotels, and that needs to be set up a year or so in advance. Do you remember after Septbember 11, 2001, when the NFL tried to move the Super Bowl one week later and had huge problems with it? They eventually got it moved, but it was a huge headache for the hotels and the car dealer convetion that had to move.

Nobody, the Super Bowl was created so that the champions of the American Football League and National Football League after the 1967 season.\n\nGo to the NFL website to learn about past NFL champions, including the 1950s.

Nevada has never had an professional team. Houston had a team in the USFL called the Gamblers.

Browns, Texans, Jaguars, Lions, Saints, and Cardinals have never made it to the Superbowl. Bills, Bengals, Titans, Chargers, Eagles, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, and Seahawks have all made it to the Superbowl but they have never won it.

The Saints joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1967.\n\nThe Saints began playing in the Superdome in 1975.

Houston's Stadium is SWEET!!!!\n\nBut the new stadium that the Cowboys are building will TOTALLY outdo any current stadium.

Teams currently seeming to have stadium issues always will use a place like Los Angeles as ransom for their current locations to ante up.  Seems to me that makes the list of potential LA:  Buffalo, Indy, Kansas City, Minnesota, New Orleans, Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco.\n\nOf this group...odds are KC will get something done for the Chiefs;  Vikings, were they to move, seems to be looking more like San Antonio;  and the Saints, were they to move, likely to stay somewhere on the Gulf Coast.\n\nBills does have another suitor just north of the 49th in Toronto.  Colts have also been mentioned with Toronto as possible, as well.  Admittedly, Toronto is a large market of 5 million-ish, but the flux of currency values make it not too inviting at the moment.\n\n49ers, it seem, are now heading to Santa Clara.  Not sure if this deal is done, but I suspect they will stay somewhere in the bay area.\n\nRaiders...well, it is Al Davis, and they could end up in Honolulu, Bakersfield, or any of the towns named Springfield yet.\n\nChargers do strike me as the most likely.  They have stadium issues to the point where they need a new stadium if they want more Super Bowls played in the area.\n\nIf I were a betting man, I would say we could see two teams in LA.  Most likely the Chargers or Raiders from the AFC, along with an expansion NFC team.

I'm sure that it does, as the game has only been played in warm weather climates or domes for the past several years. But the actual site of the Super Bowl is chosen in advance during the annual NFL owners meeting. The meeting is generally held in October of each year and the site is chosen for five years from that time, meaning you can go to www.superbowl.com and see where the four Super Bowl games after Detroit are scheduled.

2011 – Indianapolis - maybe it will happen with new stadium, but it shouldn't, indy is too small and too cold\n\n2012 – Atlanta - not unlikely, but again, it shouldn't.  atlanta can be cold in january/february, and it is a fairly small market\n\n2013 – Los Angeles - ok, but i assume you mean pasadena, and the rose bowl would need renovation.  as it stands now, no chance for the colloseum, unless la gets a team and renovates it or builds a new stadium.\n\n2014 – Chicago - no chance.  i live in chicago, and i think it's the greatest city in the u.s., and new york is it's only real competition.  but there's no way this will happen, it's too cold, too outdoors, and too small.  after indy builds a new stadium, soldier field will be the smallest in the country, and there's no new stadium coming anytime soon after spending half a billion or so on renovations to soldier field 2 years ago.   \n\n2016 – Detroit - i hope not, too soon, and a bad idea anyway.\n\nas for 2015, kc is probably out, the rolling roof was voted down last week, and the superbowl will not come to an outdoor arrowhead.  also, i am originally from the kc area and a chiefs fan, and i think hosting a superbowl there would be a disaster; there is not enough hotels, there is not enough to do, and the weather in february sucks.    \n\nto paraprase espn.com's bill simmons, the superbowl should just rotate between san diego, new orleans, and miami.  these are the only warm weather cities in the country with the hotel space, the stadium and convention facilities, and also the fun factor stemming from centralized downtowns and no shortage of bars.  the superbowl is the biggest u.s. sporting event of the year, except for the occasional hosting of a summer olympics.  it is also a week-long party.  thus, it should be played only in places that people want to go, and unfortunately since it is a winter event, this excludes cold climates.  should the chiefs ever make the superbowl, i fully intend to attend by any menas necesary, selling my car, maxing out credit cards, whatever.  and in such a case, i would hate to do so to spend a week in houston, jacksonville, or detroit.

Never happened before.  The LA Rams lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIV (1980) which was played in Los Angeles.

Don't think so, but close.\n\n1980 SB -- 1979 season -- was played in the Los Angeles area (the Rose Bowl) but not at the Rams' home field (LA Colliseum).  Rams played the Steelers in that one.

yes. this is true.\nthere is a stadium in germany that does the exact same thing and is  going to be used for the World Cup games.\nrena AufSchalke is the name, and is the new home of the bundesliga team Fc Schalke.\n\nThis is one of the most innovative stadiums built in recent years. It has a retractable roof, and features a grass pitch that slides in and out of the stadium as needed. The sliding pitch keeps grass alive within a domed stadium, and also allows the stadium to be used for non-sporting events such as concerts without damaging the pitch. It also well known for its 5 km long beer pipeline!
