For the first time in NFL history, one of the Super Bowl teams will be playing the big game in their home stadium, as this year's championship game will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The game also marks the 10th championship game for quarterback Tom Brady, as he continues to add to his record of Super Bowl appearances.

This will not however be the first time a team plays in the Super Bowl in their home state according to CBS, as the Los Angeles Rams played the 1980 Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl, and the San Fransisco 49ers played the 1985 Super Bowl at Stanford Stadium.
