4.0 out of 5 stars A great souvenir for all 49ers fans, October 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Official Book of the Super Bowl XXIX: The Golden State of Football (Paperback)

This official book of Super Bowl XXIX is a must for the 49ers fans; Sure the writing is slim but there are over 300 color photographs inside - and they are all magnificient - this is worth buying the book; It is a great tribute to the '94 San Francisco 49ers, the best offense in NFL history.

While not exactly the most exciting Super Bowl ever played- the Niners pretty much had it won at halftime- this book does give the Niner/pro football fan a good look at the glitz, glamor, & hype that surrounds the `Great American Time-Out'. The enormity of this amazing event in pro sports is depicted in the seemingly-endless array of color photos, with a bit of text here & there.

There's pre-game pics of the fans, decked out in some of the most interesting clothing & costumes ever seen as they pay tribute to their allies. There's the prepping of the field for the big day. You'll also see the players coming off the planes, the annual NFL Experience `carnival', and go behind the scenes at rehearsals for the halftime show.

Then there's the game itself, featuring plenty of 49er highlights (Steve Young's amazing performance, Jerry Rice & Ricky Watters' two-man touchdown show, Deion Sanders' steppin') and a few Charger Moments as well (Andre Coleman's 98-yard kickoff return TD). Kathy Lee Gifford's national anthem and the `Indiana Jones'-themed halftime show (with the Super Bowl trophy standing in for the gold idol from `Raiders') are also depicted.

Finally, there's the post-game wrap-up, featuring stills from the victorious 49ers locker room, press conferences by both teams, and the Niner victory parade down San Francisco's main drag. Finally, a few words from commissioner Paul Tagliabue, the sentimental thoughts of Hall-of-Famers Dan Fouts & Ronnie Lott, and an appendix of game stats are included to give this book a little something aside from photos to look at.

I am a die-hard Charger fan, so even though we got massacred in this game, I still have a lot nostalgia of the 1994 season. It was the first year that we ever made a Super Bowl, and it was a year that I will never forget. This book brings back all of those great memories. Chargers 2000 all the way!
