I doubt seriously they would relocate to the visitors locker room, and really doubt any team designated as visitors would want to use the saints themed locker room for the super bowl... Talk about broken focus staring at a fleur-de-lis while getting the game face on.

So it will only boil down to who wears dark and who wears light uniforms.

This will be Superbowl 47 and being an odd year the NFC team is the "home team"... It alternates Odd NFC even AFC...

Thanks for the info...I wasn't going to bother looking up who will be the home team.

It's moot since as you say the NFC will be home team this year, but if it wasn't like that and I was the coach of the opposing team, I would make the SAINTS use the visitor's locker room and hang my team's banners over any SAINTS logo's in the room. I'd definitely want to disrupt their rhythm by making them move considering how good they've been at home of late.

Saints playing the Super Bowl in the Dome sounds like a can't lose proposal. Playing under their own roof sounds almost too good to be true? In some ways, maybe it is	This thread	Refback	08-23-2012 03:15 PM	3
