Trivia: Who played in the first superbowl? In January 15, 1967, the Green Bay Packers (35) opened the Super Bowl series by defeating the AFL champion Chiefs (10) behind the passing of Bart Starr.
The Packers collected $15,000 per man and the Chiefs $7,500 – the largest single game shares in the history of team sports. Things have certainly changed!
This year, the Pittsburg (7th time in the Superbowl) will play the Cardinals, who are making their first appearance in a Superbowl game. The game will be in Tampa, Florida, February 1st at 6 p.m. Packages are still available.
