===Pregame ceremonies===
The pregame show featured dancers in celebration of the culture of [[Native Americans in the United States]], the traditions of the [[American Old West]], and the great outdoors. Actress and singer [[Vanessa Williams]] sang the national anthem. After the anthem to honor the 10th anniversary of the [[Space Shuttle Challenger disaster|''Challenger'' disaster]], there was a flyover in a [[missing man formation]].

Honoring the 30th Super Bowl game, several past Super Bowl MVPs joined the [[coin flipping|coin toss]] ceremony (similar to 10 years earlier in [[Super Bowl XX]], and then repeated every 10 years thereafter in [[Super Bowl XL]] and [[Super Bowl 50]]). Joe Montana, MVP of Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XVI|XVI]], [[Super Bowl XIX|XIX]], and [[Super Bowl XXIV|XXIV]], tossed the coin.<ref name="name" />
