The film from Universal Pictures is considered part of the 1970s cycle of Hollywood disaster movies. A year later, Paramount Pictures released the similarly themed Black Sunday (1977), which instead of a sniper threat had a terrorist plot at the Super Bowl. 1977 also saw Universal produce Rollercoaster il grande brivido (1977) with bomb-caused accidents at amusement parks. Moreover, a line of dialogue in Panico nello stadio (1976) refers to "sudden death" in the football game, A rischio della vita (1995) also being the title of the Universal's similarly themed disaster movie where a terrorist plot threatens an ice hockey match.
