2019 Atlanta Super Bowl Countdown: Super Bowl XVI

As we get ready to kick off Week 3 on the Road to 2019 Super Bowl in Atlanta, the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals, two teams looking to build upon their quick start in the 2018 season, show down in Super Bowl XVI.

Going head to head in Super Bowl XVI the San Francisco 49ers took home the Super Bowl victory, winning by a score of 26-21. There were a total of 81,270 people who attended Super Bowl XVI on January 24, 1982. The game itself was played in Pontiac, Michigan at the Pontiac Silverdome.

The MVP of the Super Bowl in 1982 was Joe Montana, who recorded a rushing touchdown during Super Bowl XVI, along with completing 14 of 22 passes. Although the Bengals scored their final touchdown only seconds before the game was over, it wasn’t quite enough to win the game.

The cost of a 30 second commercial during Super Bowl XVI was $324,000, which was way more expensive than any Super Bowl commercial to date. Pat Summerall and John Madden were both announcers at Super Bowl XVI and the game had around 85.24 million viewers.

It seems as though the group “Up with People” were starting to make a regular attendance at the Super Bowl. The halftime show for Super Bowl XVI was Up with People presents “Salute to the 1960s and Motown.” Pat Haggerty was the referee for this Super Bowl and the future hall of famers recorded were Bill Walsh (coach), Fred DeanRonnie LottJoe Montana.
