Superbowl

This is the weekend for football fans to gather. If you're looking for facts to drop into the conversation you can go to the Super Bowl History site. The information is very nicely laid out- date, place, teams, score, drop down box with the recap, MVP, and a picture of a ticket and the ring given!

What if you're looking for a taste of what the atmosphere was like just before and after a game? Reading magazines published near the date of the game will give you a flavor of the times. How do you access that magazine article?

GALILEO has several ways to get articles.

You can do a Journal A-Z search for a specific magazine. I looked for Sports Illustrated. It is available full text back to 1992.

Just to see whaat else might be available, I selected the Search tab.
I did a search for Super Bowl in the regular search screen (last tab on the right).
I limited the search term to subject.
I limited the search to 1969-1992. Sports Illustrated articles were retrieved pre 1992.

The oldest Super Bowl article I found was from a 1975 Saturday Evening Post titled the Pittsburgh Steelers Longest Week.

Presents a narrative of the author's observations and experiences during a week leading to the 1975 Super Bowl championship. Information on how ballplayers react differently to the pressure of Super Week; Highlights of a gathering of players from rival teams; Similarities and differences of football from Vietnam war..

It is a pdf file.
