I believe the 49ers are the "home team" which is why they've been practicing at the Saints facilities. The Ravens, I believe, have been practicing at Tulane's facilities.

we are the home team which does not mean we automatically wear our home jerseys....it just means as the 'home' team, we have the option to select which jersey we want to wear. and we have elected to, in fact, wear our home jerseys!

lol- i know all of this because i googled it soon after we won the nfc title game. it alternates years-next year the AFC champ will be the 'home' team.

They are wearing their home reds, i saw a picture of the jerserys with the Super Bowl 47 patches sewn on posted to their Facebook page.

Shame the 49ers won't get to use their home unis next year, then.

That's the biggest (and only) advantage of being the home team. We get a real practice field, they were practicing on a baseball field. The Ravens were actually unhappy with the setup.

from SI:
Unhappy with the hard artificial turf at Tulane University's baseball field, the Baltimore Ravens finished practice Thursday on the grass field at the Saints' facility instead.

The San Francisco 49ers, their opponent in Sunday's Super Bowl, already are training at the Saints' complex in nearby Metairie.

The Ravens asked the league early Thursday if they could work out at the Saints' facility. In order for both teams to practice at different times there, the Ravens agreed to dress at Tulane's baseball facility and hold their 30-minute walk-through there.

so far about a 10:1 ratio of Ravens fans to niners fans in new orleans ... heres to a good game!

Just means it will be somewhat quiet in that dome.

I sense a lot of complaining by Ravens fans about this if we win.
