This was the first year that the NFL itself implemented the pregame entertainment.  The pregame entertainment show began after the players left the field and ended with kick-off.  Lesslee Fitzmorris created and directed the show.  To celebrate the 20th Super Bowl game, the Most Valuable Players of the previous Super Bowls were featured during the pregame festivities.  The number one song of the year coupled with video plays from each Super Bowl accompanied the presentation of each player.  Performers formed the score of each championship game.   The show concluded with the question of who would be the next Super Bowl Champions. This would start a tradition occurring every ten years (in Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XXX|XXX]], [[Super Bowl XL|XL]] and [[Super Bowl 50|50]]) in which past Super Bowl MVPs would be honored before the game.

The performance event group [[Up with People]] performed during the halftime show titled "Beat of the Future". Up with People dancers portrayed various scenes into the future. This was the last Super Bowl to feature Up with People as a halftime show, though they later performed in the [[Super Bowl XXV]] pregame show. The halftime show was dedicated to the memory of Dr. [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] (the first observance of [[Martin Luther King Jr. Day]] had been held the previous Monday).
