11. Some stadiums which hosted a Super Bowl no longer exist
Tulane Stadium, unofficially known as the Sugar Bowl from 1935 onward, served as the home of the New Orleans Saints from 1967 to 1974. It also hosted three Super Bowls, the first in 1970. That was the last game played between the AFL and the NFL, won by the former. The two coldest Super Bowl games played occurred at Tulane, in 1972 (39°) and 1975 (46°). Tulane demolished the stadium in 1980. Six other stadiums which hosted Super Bowls have since been demolished. Among them were Tampa Stadium (two Super Bowls), Stanford Stadium (1) and the original Orange Bowl, where five Super Bowl games were played.
Three domed stadiums which hosted Super Bowls have also been demolished; the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, and the Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit. Of the former stadiums, Stanford Stadium held the distinction of being one of two which never served as the home stadium for an NFL team, the other being the Rose Bowl. Stanford also had the distinction of being the only stadium to hold a Super Bowl in which the de facto home team, the San Francisco 49ers, won the game over the Miami Dolphins. Four years later Stanford did serve as the home for the NFL’s 49ers (1 game) after damage from the Loma Prieta earthquake prevented their using Candlestick Park.
