The DISASTER at Super Bowl XIV

Super Bowl XIV between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Rams might be best known for the Steelers winning their fourth Super Bowl title in six years, and for setting the attendance record by having over 103,000 people packed into the Rose Bowl to watch the game. However, off the field, the game was a disaster. From awful parking to a massive ticket sale controversy to tons of fighting in the stands, Super Bowl XIV was atrocious. This is the story behind the forgotten disaster of Super Bowl 14
NOTE: There is one glaring omission in the video that I don't know how it slipped by me, but Super Bowl XVII was also hosted in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl

And that’s before addressing that the announcers for this game - Pat Summerall & Tom Brookshire - were out late the night before the game and CBS was not happy with their performance calling this game which prompted them to split them up after the 1980 season & begin a search for a new lead broadcasting team Somewhere in an alternate yet somewhat similar universe CBS’ lead team was John Madden & Vin Scully

[@pronkb000]

Brookshier, a few years later, would remark after plugging an upcoming Lousiville basketball game on CBS, that "they have a collective IQ of about 40, but they can play basketball." That earned him a suspension for the final week of the season and while he called games through 1987, he quickly began sliding down the depth chart.

That Ram team was riddled with injuries all season long, and got healthy by playoff time. That same Ram team defeated the Steelers in the regular season in 1978. They matched up well, especially defensively.

[@jonemeigh5588]

There’s a good reason for that. The Rams’ defensive coordinator was Bud Carson, who from 1973-1977 was the defensive coordinator for the Steelers…so he developed pretty much one of the best defenses of all time, the Steel Curtain. Terry Bradshaw noted that the Super Bowl against the Rams was such tough sledding because Carson knew all their plays and signals. Incidentally the play that finally put a dagger in the Rams’ fans hearts…60 Prevent Slot Hook and Go…had been installed during practice week precisely to counter Carson knowing their plays. Only problem is every time they tried it in practice, it failed because the safety in defense that was back to help kept coming over and broke it up. But it worked in the game for what was ultimately the winning touchdown pass…because the help in safety blew his coverage and DIDN’T come over. So TD (even though Bradshaw was off with the throw and Stallworth had to catch it over his wrong shoulder). They did use it a second time and this time the safety did come over…but it was a better throw and Bradshaw still got it in there…this time the safety prevented a TD.

[@jimdog6014]

Your point is well taken. I believe Bradshaw even stated that Jack Reynolds seemed to have an answer for everything the Steelers tried. My point is that the video made the Rams out to be a talentless fluke. That Ram team knocked the defending NFC champion Cowboys out of the playoffs, and had the defending Superbowl champs on the ropes for 3 qtrs.

As far as Super Bowl "regions" go, you have to mention the Detroit Super Bowl between the Steelers and the Seahawks. While Detroit is eight hours away from Pittsburgh, so it can't be considered "near", so MANY Steelers fans packed the stands that NO other Super Bowl, not even last year's or the ones you mentioned which played within a team's region, ever had such a "home" field advantage for one team.

[@eddiejc1]

@Chris Smith Even in that case, there were fewer 49ers fans in the stands than Steelers fans in Detroit. Another honorable mention is the Rams-Patriots Super Bowl a few years ago. Patriots fans weren't as loud as Steelers fans, but they were the ONLY fans you heard. I don't think I heard ANY cheering for the Rams and I only saw one or two people in the stands wearing Rams paraphrenalia. I'm sure it would have been a much different case if it were the ST. LOUIS Rams playing against the Patriots.

There were national and entertainment boycott's of Arizona and the NFL and it's owners finally decided to take the Super Bowl away from them. I don't know why they chose Pasadena besides already having hosted before. It may just be the closest NFL ready stadium at 6 hours away. But they could have just as easily held it in San Diego again. Arizona would officially make MLK a holiday, the last state to do so. The governor would be impeached for other things. And Tempe would get SB XXX in 1996.

Example: 2024 season, divisible by 4, that season’s Super Bowl (LIX) will be on Fox NBC gets games divisible by 4 as part of Winter Games lead-in. Super Bowls LX, LXIV, LXXII… CBS gets games divisible by 2 but not 4 (LVIII, LXII, LXVI) Other games: ABC-ESPN (LXI, LXV, maybe LXIX if the pattern holds which would be nice)

There is a difference between the game being a disaster and how the game was run being a disaster. You can do better. As for the parking, that's how politicians think. When there is a bad situation (for example, limited parking) their solution is to make it worse. I was living in Los Angeles then, and let me say that there were no stories that night about the parking. All the stories were about the game. Do you understand that anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" of rain is NOTHING! The Game wasn't a disaster.

Kind of funny that the NFL would host the Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl another 3 times in 1983,87, and 93.

[@natewunderman4597]

Whenever there is a big event at the Rose Bowl (>20K); parking will be a hassle. The stadium, though in a beautiful location, is also a victim of where it is. Said location, at the bottom of the Arroyo Seco, is surrounded by one of the ritziest neighborhoods in Pasadena that is also hilly. The closest mass transit stop today (which did not exist in 1980) is miles away on Old Town Pasadena, and requires an uphill walk. An unavoidable part of the stadium's problem is when it was built, 1923, and the utterly different planning considerations that were in effect at that time (also, the stadium was built above a landfill). If any game, concert, or other event is put on sale for the Rose Bowl, any true Angeleno carefully weighs whether or not they really need or want to go to said event to this day.

[@matthewdaley746]

In that same vein, in, Washington, D.C., there's, also, a, Metro, stop, for, the, Zoo, but, you have to walk, over, a mile, uphill, the stop, right, after, is, both, closer, and, downhill, but, as it's in, Maryland, they don't label it, as, such-bewilderingly.

The 1979 Rams were beset by injuries, and that's the primary reason they had what was for them a subpar season. But the Rams were the dominant team in the NFC West throughout the 1970s. They just weren't able to get over the hump in the playoffs prior to 1979. Also, The Rams were one of the few teams that gave the Steelers trouble in the '70s. They played each other the previous season at The Coliseum, and the Rams won a defensive struggle 10-7 (which JG9 made a video of a while back).

I believe he said on Twitch that he had no problem with calling a play given whom Andy Reid was trusting to make a play (a smart, MVP-caliber quarterback Patrick Mahomes), but the play itself didn't work. Based on how I understand the Dumb Decisions series, that play doesn't qualify because of the elements that could have been in place to make the call work. It was a dumb decision, but not a Dumb Decision, as in one that looks bad from the outset. Personally, I would have kicked the field goal there to extend the lead to 24-3, but the right play call could have made it 28-3.

The people in charge messed up and could not even call the right move for the temporary seating. The people in charge fixed this problem of the first type of seating to be a different style to get the view and failed to have it be safe yet could have been fixed in time just they refused to let people do so.
