Pregame News and Notes
This was the second time a team could have been considered a home team for a Super Bowl with Stanford just 30 miles away from San Francisco. Promotion for the Super Bowl also contributed to that feeling with many photographs of the Vince Lombardi trophy near San Francisco landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge. Thus, the 49ers may be considered the only team to have won the Super Bowl at home. The Los Angeles Rams also played near home at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. in Super Bowl XIV, but lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
