"Every year, the College Football Playoff National Championship game rotates among a handful of host sites. One such site is Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, which hosted the 2021 CFP Championship Game between Alabama and Ohio State. This year marked a return to the front of the rotation for Hard Rock -- just in time for the Hurricanes, who are Hard Rock's collegiate occupants in the fall."
"In fact, LSU has turned in-state championship game trips into something of a habit. Every one of the school's title game appearances since the dawn of the championship game era has come in years when said championship was being held at the Superdome in New Orleans. In turn, four of the five years when the Superdome has hosted the national championship game since the start of the BCS era have featured LSU as one of the participating teams."
Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens will host the College Football Playoff National Championship, and the Miami Hurricanes will play the title game at their home stadium for the first time in just over 20 years. A team playing a national championship at its home stadium is unprecedented in FBS history. This matchup marks the ninth BCS/playoff-era championship in which a competing team is from the same state as the host site. LSU has frequently appeared when the Superdome hosts the title, with four of five Superdome-hosted championships featuring LSU. In-state teams hold a 4-4 record in such title games.
