SB XI (Raiders over Vikes) was the first SB in Pasadena and the last SB played entirely in broad daylight, as Steve Sabol pointed out, ruefully, one time in an NFL Films Lost Treasures on ESPN Classic. Sabol said, "It's been a generation since the Vikings have even been in a Super Bowl, and as for another Super Bowl played in the daytime, we can dream, can't we?"

SB XI was also the last NFL game color-commented on NBC by Don Meredith (who came very close to playing in SB's I & II) before Meredith returned to ABC in time for its 8th MNF season that fall.

And another relic never to be seen again is that one-hour pregame show. NBC jumped it up to four by 1981 and it's God knows how long these days

Didn't Fox do an eight-hour pregame show (10 AM-6 PM ET) a
year or two ago?
