what super bowl was played in pontiac mi
After 15 games in warm weather climates, the 1982 championship contest was played in the Pontiac (Mich.) Silverdome, 25 miles from Detroit. While surrounding areas shivered in below zero chill factors, 81,270 enjoyed 72-degree comfort in the huge, 5-year-old stadium. That the 49ers and Bengals were in the Super Bowl was remarkable in itself.
