SAN FRANCISCO — The last time the San Francisco 49ers won a Super Bowl, they earned a 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Florida, on Jan. 29, 1995, during Super Bowl XXIX (29).
The Bay Area team will travel to Las Vegas on Feb. 11 for 2024's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Almost 30 years ago, there were over 74,000 people in attendance and Jerry Markbreit, 88, served as referee.
In 2024, Joe Robbie Stadium operates under its newest name since opening in 1987 — Hard Rock Stadium, according to University of Miami Hurricanes athletics.
The Chargers were founded in Los Angeles in 1959 but moved to San Diego in 1961 due to competition from the Los Angeles Rams, according to the NFL. The team moved back to Los Angeles in 2017.

Super Bowl 29’s halftime performance featured Patti LaBelle, Tony Bennett
Disney sponsored Super Bowl 29’s halftime performance featuring Patti LaBelle and Tony Bennett that aired on ABC, according to the Bleacher Report.
Disney would acquire ABC one year later for $19 billion in 1996.
LaBelle’s and Bennett’s performances were interwoven with a skit starring actors for Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood as they tried to recover a stolen Lombardi Trophy to promote the opening of Disneyland’s Indiana Jones ride that would open two months after the Super Bowl.
“I’m giving it to the winner of Super Bowl 29,” the actor playing Jones said about the trophy once it was pretend recovered.
After Jones and Ravenwood rescued the trophy, LaBelle and Bennett broke out into a rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” from 1994’s “Lion King.”
