The last Super Bowl with the goalposts in the middle of the end zone.

This is great, I think in the past there were portions of this pre-game out there, glad you found the entire pre-game, keep up the good work

Thank u Viking fan here still not over this one. Was in 5th grade brings back old feelings like a nightmare then. Now it's cool

WOW! Bitter sweet memories! Thanks for the upload. Looking forward to when you upload superbowl 2 and vikings vs rams 1974 conference championship game, good job 👍👍

The introduction of the Vikings defense was the last time I had hope in this game. My 7 year old self clearly remembers seeing them introduce Wally Hilgenberg, and hoping for a victory. Sadly, 50 years later it still hasn’t happened. If only Ed White had blocked Buoniconti. If only a bogus clip wasn’t called on Stu Voigt. If only Porter had recovered Jake Scott’s 1st quarter punt muff. Funny holding call on Hilgenberg gave the Dolphins 4 points to start the second half. If only Curtis Johnson had shorter fingernails. Who was offsides on the onside kick? Kingsrighter was inbounds on the 3rd and 16. A lot of ifs, but everything went wrong for the Vikings in this game, and that defense intro brought me back to where three more Super Bowls had not been lost yet, and five more NFC championship losses hadn’t happened. Welcome to the last moment of Viking fan bliss. Cheers everyone!

Looked like lousy sightlines for seats in the corner.

As a long time Miami Dolphin fan this is like opening a gift on Christmas morning!! Thanks for your hard work. I've always wanted to ask you this question, I know you probably have a lot of sports that you cannot put on KZread for obvious reasons, and I'll understand if you don't won't to answer. But would you happen to have the 1971 AFC Championship game from January 2, 1972? Between the Baltimore Colts and the Miami Dolphins.

I wonder if John Madden had this HOF cartoon in mind when he said the busts talk to each other?

On this date in Southern California, Sunday January 13th, 1974 is only 1 month and 8 days before KPBS San Diego and other PBS stations have conducted their membership pledge drives as "Public Television Awareness Week", conducted from Friday February 22nd, 1974 through Sunday March 3rd, 1974!!

Still the best football team I've ever seen. Bengals fan here and they beat us in the playoffs that year. You never like to lose, but if you have to lose it's kind of an honor to lose to the best team ever.

Still don't understand why Pete and the site commission chose Rice Stadium to host the Super Bowl and not play the game in the Astrodome right down the road. Imagine how much more dramatic and impressive a game of this magnitude would look inside a huge domed structure, which for the time still evoked a futuristic look.

Astrodome was too small, it only seated 50,000 people, not enough for a Super Bowl. Even if they were to add temporary seats, they could have put in only maybe 10,000 bleachers seats at best. Remember the previous year over 90,000 attended Super Bowl VII in Los Angeles.
