==Entertainment== ===Pregame ceremonies=== The pregame show held before the game featured [[country music]] singer [[Hank Williams Jr.]], who performed his theme song for ''[[Monday Night Football]]'', which was based on his single "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight". Actress and singer [[Kathie Lee Gifford]] (Frank Gifford's wife) later sang the national anthem. She was accompanied by then-[[Miss America]] [[Heather Whitestone]] who [[American Sign Language|signed]] the anthem for the hearing impaired. To honor the NFL's 75th season, four former players all Hall of Fame members, who were named to the league's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team joined the [[coin flipping|coin toss]] ceremony: [[Otto Graham]], [[Joe Greene]], [[Ray Nitschke]], and [[Gale Sayers]]. A special 75th anniversary logo was painted at midfield. Each player also wore a patch on his [[jersey (clothing)|jersey]] with the same logo; the 75th anniversary patch was worn by all players league-wide during the [[1994 NFL season|1994 season]]. During the regular season, teams also wore "throwback" jerseys for selected games. The 49ers wore their throwbacks (which paid tribute to the [[1957 San Francisco 49ers season|1957 Niners]]) for most of the season, this game included. ===Halftime show=== The halftime show was titled "Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye" and was produced by [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] to promote their [[Indiana Jones Adventure]] attraction at [[Disneyland Park (Anaheim)|Disneyland]] that opened later that year. The show featured actors playing [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]] and his girlfriend [[Marion Ravenwood]] who were raiding the [[Vince Lombardi Trophy]] from the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. The show also had performances by singers [[Tony Bennett]] and [[Patti LaBelle]], [[jazz]] trumpeter [[Arturo Sandoval]], and the [[Miami Sound Machine]]. The show ended with everybody singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", the song featured in Disney's (which later acquired ABC) 1994 film ''[[The Lion King]]''. The dancers on the field were members of the Coral Gables Senior High marching band. This halftime show also had a connection with past ABC programming: the first two ''Indiana Jones'' films had their broadcast premieres on ABC, and the network aired a TV series, ''[[The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles]]'', from 1992 to 1993 (actually serving as the lead-in to ''[[Monday Night Football]]'' at one point).
