Miami Beats Out Tampa, Houston to Gain Super Bowl XXIX in 1995
Miami was awarded the 1995 Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Thursday.
The game, to be played Jan. 29, 1995 at Joe Robbie Stadium, will be the second Super Bowl in that stadium. It will be the seventh time Miami has played host to the NFL title game.
Miami was selected on the fourth ballot over Tampa, which has had two Super Bowls, and Houston, which was considered the favorite. Houston last had the Super Bowl in 1974.
The owners also agreed to stand by regulations opening locker rooms to all media 10 minutes after games. Tagliabue said provisions must be made by every team to open locker rooms to the media for a minimum of 30 minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the season.
In other business, the 26 NFL teams supporting the World League of American Football committed another $13 million to running the league, $500,000 per team, for next season. The Phoenix Cardinals and Chicago Bears are not backing the WLAF.
