Given AMA Supercross predominantly races in NFL stadiums, it’d be easy to do a compilation of Super Bowl teams whose homes have also been used as tracks. Instead, how about we go a little more specific?

Of the 60 Super Bowls, 52 have been played since the creation of the AMA Supercross Championship in 1974. Of the 104 teams to meet, 24* played in stadiums that were also Supercross tracks the same year as their title campaigns. 15 of them would go on to win it all. (See asterisk at the bottom)

More pertinently, the final opponents for three of those champions had SX come to their home turfs during those seasons too, essentially making the Super Bowl a battle of Supercross hosts. The most recent game on Sunday was the third such instance as the Seahawks’ Lumen Field and the Patriots’ Gillette Stadium were respectively the 11th and 12th rounds of the 2025 SX season.

Before diving into this, let’s set some parameters and clear things up (mainly for the non-football folks). While the Super Bowl is held the following calendar year, this list focuses on the year that the regular season primarily takes place; for example, Super Bowl LX took place in 2026 for the 2025 season, so the 2025 SX schedule is being used.

Secondly, the team’s stadium must have held an SX race the same year as their title run. Thus, Ralph Wilson Stadium hosting a one-off in 1984 means the early ’90s Bills are not included here.

Super Bowl XLIV: New Orleans vs. Indianapolis

Yup, it wouldn’t be until 2009 that we get the first instance. The closest in the 20th century would be Super Bowl XV between the Raiders and Eagles since Supercross visited Oakland and Philadelphia in 1980, but the latter was at John F. Kennedy Stadium and not Veterans Stadium (the Eagles briefly played at what was then Philadelphia Municipal Stadium in the late ’30s before moving to Shibe Park).

Lucas Oil Stadium was the NFL’s newest stadium after opening in 2008. It replaced the RCA Dome, which besides the Colts had been an annual Supercross stop since 1992. With the Colts winning Super Bowl XLI in 2006, the Dome was also one of the 24 instances of an active SX track whose NFL tenant won the big game.

Of course, after the Colts moved to their new home, so did Supercross. After one final round at RCA in 2008 (Lucas Oil didn’t open until the NFL season began that August), SX held its inaugural event at Lucas Oil on February 28. It was the ninth race of the season, and one where calamity took place almost immediately as multiple riders were taken out in the first turn of the first heat.

Chad Reed would ultimately score his first win of the season, dominating the feature from holeshot to finish. James Stewart followed.

Two weeks later, Round 11 took place at the Louisiana Superdome on March 14. The home of the Saints was a Supercross mainstay in the late 1970s before coming on and off the calendar in the decades since. 2009 was its first race since 2002, and the stadium had undergone some major changes from the last time due to Hurricane Katrina.

Stewart was reeling after crashing at Daytona in Round 10 and letting Reed gain some momentum in the title fight. He made his rage known by winning his heat then smacking the field in the main. In an inverse of Indy, Reed was second.

If Reed vs. Stewart was the duel of the 2009 SX season, Super Bowl XLIV was supposed to be a duel of Peyton Manning vs. Drew Brees. Unfortunately for Manning, Tracy Porter was his analog to Daytona for Stewart that year.

Super Bowl LI: Atlanta vs. Foxborough

One can think of 3 to 28 reasons why Atlantans would rather forget Super Bowl LI. It was an agonizing end to an otherwise magical season for the Falcons and their high-flying offense.

Speaking of high flying, Supercross riders certainly do that too. On February 27, the Georgia Dome hosted the eighth round of the SX slate. Atlanta was a mainstay for the series from 1977 to 2020 with races taking place at the Dome, Fulton County Stadium, Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Georgia Dome in particular had been on the calendar since 1993.

Ryan Dungey would score his fifth win of the year, midway through a successful three-peat in the 450 class. He led a KTM 1–2 with Marvin Musquin, who lost the lead to Dungey after going off track, right behind.

On the opposite side of the schedule, Foxborough was the third-to-last race. It was Gillette Stadium’s first Supercross round, though the Patriots’ previous home of Foxboro Stadium had brief runs with the series in 1983–1984 and 1990.

Dungey could’ve swept the eventual SB51 races, but gradually lost his pace on the mixed surfaces (rain had caused the track to be muddied up before sunlight dried it). Ken Roczen took advantage and passed him.

A Georgia Dome winner blowing it late in the season, you say…? Fortunately for Dungey, he actually won his championship. Sorry, Falcons fans.

Super Bowl LX: Seattle vs. Foxborough

Of course the Patriots are on here multiple times.

As mentioned above, Seattle and Foxborough were right next to each other on the 2025 SX calendar: Lumen Field was the 11th round of the season, while Gillette was the 12th.

Seattle is a Supercross hotbed that has hosted races since 1978 at the Kingdome. The domed venue was a fan favorite until its demolition in 2000, after which now-Lumen Field took its place on the SX schedule in 2005. Save for a two-year absence in 2015 and 2016 and the COVID years, the infamously loud NFL stadium has been an annual stop since.

Points leader and eventual champion Cooper Webb won Seattle in a dramatic battle with Chase Sexton, which he followed up with a wild run from sixth to third on the final lap in Foxborough. Aaron Plessinger took the latter.

Gillette was dropped from the 2026 Supercross calendar while Lumen will host Round 6 on Saturday. Thus, if the Seahawks make it to Super Bowl LXI, they’ll be on this list while the Patriots will not. Other teams eligible because their homes have races this year include the Colts, Broncos (Empower Field at Mile High), Browns (Huntington Bank Field), Cardinals (State Farm Stadium), Cowboys (AT&T Stadium), Eagles (Lincoln Financial Field), Lions (Ford Field), and Titans (Nissan Stadium).
