On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals both stormed back from double-digit deficits in their Conference Championship games to advance to Super Bowl LVI, which will be played at the Rams home stadium in Inglewood, CA.
But, the Rams will not be the home team in the Super Bowl as the home/away designation rotates each year, meaning the Bengals technically be the home team.
With the amount of Rams fans who have been in attendance during their previous two “home” games against the 49ers, they may as well wear their road jerseys despite playing in their home stadium.
Super Bowl LVI note: The #Rams are actually the road team — officially — despite being at home at SoFi Stadium. The #Bengals are home, a designation that alternates each year between the AFC and NFC champion.
