Description
Artwork based on a ticket to the very first Super Bowl.
Originally called the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs by the score of 35-10. It was the first of two Super Bowls claimed by legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi but was actually his fifth world championship (before the AFL-NFL agreement and eventual merger leading to the NFL and Super Bowls as they is known today.) Packers QB Bart Starr was the MVP of the game.
A couple of unique features to this game were that it was the only Super Bowl to be broadcast on two TV networks (NBC and CBS) and it was the only game not to have a sell-out crowd (over 30,000 unsold tickets for the game in the Los Angeles Coliseum, despite a TV blackout of the game in L.A.)
