Although the Los Angeles Rams became the second team after the Pirates to play in the Super Bowl at their home stadium, it is confusing that they are an away team in the 56th Super Bowl! Why? Because according to the Super Bowl rules, the Teams of the American League and the League of Nations will take turns hosting home-away games, and in even-numbered years of the Super Bowl, the home team will turn the American League team - that is, the Cincinnati Tigers, 2200 miles from Los Angeles!
Traditionally, the Tigers can even use the Rams' home team locker room. But according to NFL reporter Ian Rappoport, the Rams still maintain their own dressing room, while the Tigers use the Lightning's locker room, which currently shares soFI stadiums with the Rams, so strictly speaking, this Super Bowl is the home of the Lightning.
However, as the home team, the Tigers will be the first to choose to wear dark or light jerseys during the game, and while the Tigers' home jerseys are usually black, they may choose the white jersey they wear when they beat the Titans and Chiefs. Their opponents in the same area, The Steelers, decided to wear a white jersey at the 40th Super Bowl after winning their first three playoff games on the road, and eventually won the Super Bowl.
As an away team, the Rams will decide the direction of the Super Bowl by tossing a coin, but the last seven teams that have won by tossing a coin have all lost the Super Bowl, and the most recent team to win the coin toss and win the bowl is the Seahawks in the 2013 season. Meanwhile, the Rams will be an away team for the fourth time in their 5th Super Bowl trip, and the only time they played as a home team was the 3-13 loss to the Patriots in 2018. The Tigers, on the other hand, became home for the second time in three Super Bowl experiences.
