For the first half, I want to party in public at an Italian restaurant within walking distance (since they will have $1.50 Killian drafts, ha ha) and then watch the second half here at home. That was a winning combo for the AFC championship, and I strongly hope it works for the Super Bowl as well.
The home crowd aspect is overrated. the last 3 years (admittedly with no fans last year) home teams have not won above 52% of games. LA fans barely care about the Rams. Plus the superbowl is a different animal from even the NFC Championship game.
