Super Bowl 2022: Here's why the Rams will be the 'away' team in their own stadium when they face the Bengal
Despite becoming the second team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium, the Los Angeles Rams will be the "away" team for Super Bowl LVI. The reason is simple: the AFC and NFC alternate which conference is the home and away team for every Super Bowl. The AFC is the home team for even-numbered Super Bowls, and the NFC is the home team for odd ones. That is why the Bengals, despite being nearly 2,200 miles from Cincinnati, will be the designated home team for Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium.
Traditionally, the Bengals would be privy to the Rams' home locker room as the home team. But the Rams will have their typical locker room for Super Bowl LVI, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, while the Bengals will presumably use the Chargers' (who share SoFi Stadium with the Rams) locker room, per Rapoport.
No uniforms have been decided on (publicly) or announced for Super Bowl LVI.
