Reception
editCNET's Matt Rosoff wrote "While the video clips of 75 Seasons might impress you, the text is mostly recycled and the interface seems thrown together without much thought. Unless you're a football fanatic, you could do better for the price."[5] The Charlotte Observer's Steven L. Kent said "Though this documentary CD ultimately might have scored stronger with a bit less video and a superior line of statistics, it does a good job of showing the unique force that defines the National Football League".[3]
Vince Caputo, Tom Hedden, and Dave Robidoux won an Emmy for their score of the CD.[8]
