Super Bowl History in Detroit

While the city of Detroit has hosted only one Super Bowl, a second game was hosted in nearby Pontiac, Mich., former home of the Pontiac Silverdome.

The since-demolished stadium hosted Super Bowl XVI in January 1982, marking the first time the game was held in a cold-weather city. The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 26-21.

Detroit is one of 11 metros to host multiple Super Bowls.
