<P> The home field curse affects the host team of the Super Bowl . So far no team has yet managed to reach the Super Bowl in their home stadium . Four teams with Super Bowls in their home venue have qualified for the divisional playoffs : the 1994 Miami Dolphins , the 1998 Miami Dolphins , the 2016 Houston Texans , and the 2017 Minnesota Vikings , the Vikings being the first to qualify for their conference 's title game . From 1966 -- 2011 ( excluding the six Super Bowl games held in a stadium without a professional team ) , the Super Bowl host team has had 11 winning seasons , four split seasons , and 25 losing seasons . Mathematically , the probability of that many losing seasons or more occurring by chance ( assuming a 50 percent chance of having a losing season ( disregarding . 500 seasons ) ) is 7.69 percent . It should be noted , however , that the Super Bowl host stadium is selected several years before the game is played , without regard to the teams that qualify . </P>
