Every year, one selected city prepares to put together an extravagant, unique event that will be attended by thousands and viewed on TV by millions: the Super Bowl.
In 2025, that responsibility will fall on New Orleans, which will host Super Bowl 59 between the Chiefs and Eagles inside the Saints’ home stadium, Caesars Superdome. When Philadelphia and Kansas City meet to wrap up another NFL season, the arena, which can hold over 70,000 fans, will undoubtedly be packed.
Over the many years of the Super Bowl, there have been a few cities that have had the luxury of hosting the event more than others — including New Orleans. The home of the Saints ranks among the cities that have held the big game more than any others, building a reputation as one of the go-to spots for Super Bowl festivities.

How many times has a team from the host city played in the Super Bowl?
There have been just four examples of a Super Bowl including the team from its game location. Only two of those games, though, were actually played in the home team’s stadium.
In 1980, the Los Angeles Rams lost 31-19 in Super Bowl 14 to the Steelers. The game was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. However, it wasn’t technically a home game because the Rams played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
In Super Bowl 19, the 49ers beat the Dolphins 38-16, with the 1985 game held in Stanford, Calif. That technically wasn’t a home game either, with the Niners’ games taking place at Candlestick Park at the time.
In 2021, Tom Brady’s Buccaneers won the first true Super Bowl home game at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. They beat the Chiefs 31-9.
In the most recent example, the Los Angeles Rams, who returned to L.A. after a 20-year stay in St. Louis, won Super Bowl 56 in a 2022 home game at SoFi Stadium, defeating the Bengals, 23-20.
