On Super Bowl Sunday, the Miami Marlins have a record that will never be broken

Alright, Miami Marlins fans- admittedly Super Bowl Sunday is not a day meant for baseball.

Of course, it doesn't appear that it's going to be a day meant for the Miami Dolphins either- certainly not this year, and probably not anytime soon. So why not assuage any ill feelings about that by putting a Miami Marlins flavored spin on this day and reflect on the unbreakable record South Florida's MLB team has when it comes to the NFL championship game.

No MLB team has had more Super Bowls played in their home stadium than the Marlins.

Four times has the last game of the NFL season been played in Miami's home ballpark. Weirder still, though probably not much of a surprise to readers who have been following the Fish since they got things started back in 1993, those four Super Bowls took place in a building with four different names:

Joe Robbie, Pro Player, Dolphin Stadium, and Sun Life have all played host to a Super Bowl the same year the Marlins called it their home, in 1995, 1999, 2007, and 2010 respectively.

By the way, just to be clear for those of you thinking this count sounds way off, I'm only counting times both the Marlins and the Super Bowl were tennants. The city of Miami itself has hosted way more Super Bowls. In fact, they're tied with New Orleans for the record at eight a piece. Since 1993 though, it is "just" those four.

Historically, only four MLB teams have had a Super Bowl played in a stadium they called home at one point: the Marlins (4), the Chargers (2), the Dodgers (2), and the Twins (1). And in the case of the Dodgers, they had already moved out of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum by the time those Super Bowls started happening. So really, it's just Miami, San Diego, and Minnesota.

Obviously, these were all cases of multi-use facilities, something that is very much no longer en vogue across professional sports. A reality underscored by the fact that two of the four stadiums just mentioned have been demolished, and one of them is no longer used by either MLB or the NFL. Of course, the Stadium Formerly Known As Joe Robbie is still standing, and still hosting Super Bowls to this day. But as we all know, the Marlins moved out after the 2011 season.

Which pretty much puts a bow on this obscure bit of Miami Marlins history/trivia- no one is taking that Super Bowl title away from them. Not anytime soon, and probably not ever. Come to think of it, they even deserve some extra credit in this category. The Orange Bowl hosted four Super Bowls as well, before eventually being torn down in order to clear space for loanDepot, Miami's current home ballpark. So even though the stadium hasn't seen an NFL title game, the ground it sits on has- for whatever that is worth.

Bottom-line? Any day is a good day to celebrate the Miami Marlins. Even Super Bowl Sunday.
