We report I-band observations of the GRB 980329 field made on March 29 withthe 1.34-m Tautenberg Schmidt telescope, R-, J- and K-band observations made onApril 1 with the APO 3.5-m telescope, R- and I-band observations made on April3 with the Mayall 4-m telescope at KPNO, and J- and K-band observations madebetween April 6 - 8 with the Keck-I 10-m telescope. We show that these andother reported measurements are consistent with a power-law fading of theoptical/near infrared source that is coincident with the variable radio sourceVLA J0702+3850. This firmly establishes that this source is the afterglow ofGRB 980329.Comment: Accepted to The Astrophysical Journal, 18 pages, LaTe
