Houston Oilers
The Houston Oilers are not listed anywhere on the page. While the Houston Oilers never made a superbowl appearance, they could still be listed as a team that never made an appearance at the bottom. Another possible fix would be to use a slash and list them with the Tennessee Titans since they continued to go by the oiler name for a year after the move. Another possible fix would be a combination of the 2 and list them at the bottom as the Houston/Tennessee Oilers

Why aren't you concern that the St Louis Cardinals are not included as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.116.191.43 (talk) 00:33, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Please change the table under the heading "Super Bowl Championships 1966-present" because it incorrectly shows the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the Super Bowl 7 times instead of the correct 6. Super Bowl XL has "Pittsburgh Steelers (6)" denoting that it was their 6th year winning the Super Bowl when in fact it was their 5th year. Subsequently, Super Bowl XLIII reads "Pittsburgh Steelers (7)" when in fact it was their 6th year winning. 173.66.245.245 (talk) 03:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Not done: The numbers in that table indicate Super Bowl appearences, not wins. RudolfRed (talk) 04:42, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

The Raiders should be listed above the Washington Redskins because the Raiders first appearance in the SB is before the Redskins first appearance. Additionally the Redskins are one of the teams the Raiders beat in the Superbowl. The Raiders should be moved up one row, swapping places with Washington. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.141.66.129 (talk) 04:40, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Done. As stated at the top of the table, "teams are ordered first by number of appearances, then by number of wins, and finally by year of first appearance". The Raiders first appeared in SB II. The Redskins did not appear until SB VII. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:06, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Super Bowl 50 should use the Roman numeral "L" instead of the digits "50" and I wanted to edit that, but I can't. Please may I edit this?
Facemark (talk) 12:39, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Not done - as it explains in our article Super Bowl 50 "Instead of naming it Super Bowl L with Roman numerals like in previous Super Bowls, this game will be marketed with the Arabic numeral "50."" - Arjayay (talk) 13:04, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

In the table where teams are ordered first by number of appearances, then by number of wins, and finally by year of first appearance, Cincinnati and Philadelphia should be switched. This is what it currently reads: 2 Cincinnati Bengals† 0 2 .000 1981,† 1988† 2 Philadelphia Eagles* 0 2 .000 1980,* 2004*. It should read: 2 Philadelphia Eagles* 0 2 .000 1980,* 2004* 2 Cincinnati Bengals† 0 2 .000 1981,† 1988†. Thank you

Records
At the beginning of this article, where Super Bowl records are noted, "Dallas and Pittsburgh have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight" needs to be changed to read "Dallas, Pittsburgh, and New England have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight". - Joshua98.28.129.216 (talk) 06:22, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

"February 5, 2006 Pittsburgh Steelers† (6)" and "February 1, 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers† (7)" need to be changed to "February 5, 2006 Pittsburgh Steelers† (5)" and "February 1, 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers† (6)", respectively.

Super Bowl Wins by decades
The New York Giants are the only team to win the Super Bowl in 4 consecutive decades...1986, 1990, 2007, 2011..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.189.169 (talk) 14:53, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- So what?--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 15:25, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- I am thinking: it wouldn't be the worst idea to include a table of Super Bowl wins by decade. Illustrate the fact that, in each decade, you do seem to get a dominant franchise emerging: in the 60s - Packers win 2 (of a possible 4), in the 70s - Steelers win 4, in the 80s - 49ers win 4, in the 90s - Cowboys win 3, in the 00s - Patriots win 3. Not looking so good for a dominant franchise in the 10s, but maybe it will be the Seahawks. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:37, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Record vs. Appearances
In the table, would it make sense to have the Super Bowl record in parentheses versus just the number of appearances? For instance,
| Game | Date | Winning team | Score | Losing team | Venue | City | Attendance | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLIX | February 1, 2015 | New England Patriots†(4-4) | 28–24 | Seattle Seahawks* (1-2) | University of Phoenix Stadium (2) | Glendale, Arizona (3) | 70,288 |
instead of
| Game | Date | Winning team | Score | Losing team | Venue | City | Attendance | Ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XLIX | February 1, 2015 | New England Patriots†(8) | 28–24 | Seattle Seahawks* (3) | University of Phoenix Stadium (2) | Glendale, Arizona (3) | 70,288 |
I know there's another table with the multiples, but I did find myself flipping up and down trying to find the *record* rather than just the appearance count. DukeEGR93 21:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Duke, I agree that this change would make the table clearer and uncover information that is currently obfuscated. We would also need to change the note at the very top of the section to reflect this change:
Numbers in parentheses in the table are Super Bowl appearances or team records, as of the date of that Super Bowl and are used as follows:
- Winning team and Losing team columns indicate each respective teams' Super Bowl record to date.
- Venue column indicates number of times that stadium has hosted a Super Bowl.
- City column indicates number of times that that metropolitan area has hosted a Super Bowl.
instead of:
Numbers in parentheses in the table are Super Bowl appearances, as of the date of that Super Bowl and are used as follows:
- Winning team and Losing team columns indicate the number of times that team has appeared in a Super Bowl.
- Venue column indicates number of times that stadium has hosted a Super Bowl.
- City column indicates number of times that that metropolitan area has hosted a Super Bowl.
- This is a significant enough change to the table that we should probably get others' input in here as well before making the change. Anyone else want to chime in? Does anyone want to argue for both appearances and the team's Super Bowl record? (I don't think that is a good idea, but it may warrant a discussion.) ~ PaulT+/C 20:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Super Bowl Championship (1966–present): AFC/NFC columns
Hi. I think it would be better to change the Winning team/Losing Team columns to AFC/NFC. Please note how it's done on the NBA page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBA_champions#NBA_champions. Any thoughts? Kvsh5 (talk) 12:36, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Why do you think there is a benefit? I think the NBA page has it backwards. This, List of World Series champions, List of Stanley Cup champions, and List of MLS Cup finals are consistent with the Champion/Runners-up column format used on such articles as the FIFA World Cup, various Olympics, and the other international competitions. More people seem to want the winners to be more salient. This format is also easier when one wants to sort the table by each winner using the sortable tables feature.
