Also, Homefield is a huge advantage. Do you really want 80% of superbowls won by the home team?

The super bowl is not going to be as big of a home field advantage as a regular game or a playoff game is because the nfl distributes the tickets. The secondary ticket market will get bought by a teams fans but at most like 20% of the primary tickets would go to a home team.

The NFL controls the tickets to the Super Bowl. It keeps 25-percent of the tickets. It sells or gives them to members of the media, corporate sponsors and NFL players. It also gives out a small number to lucky NFL fans.

The other 75-percent of tickets are given to the rest of the teams in the NFL. The NFC Champ is allocated 17.5-percent and the AFC Champ is allocated 17.5-percent. The game’s host team get five-percent and the other 29 teams split the rest. That calculates to 1.2-percent of tickets to each of the other teams. According to the NFL, most of those teams give their tickets to sponsors or hold lotteries for season ticket holders.
