when was the first super bowl
The first championship game was played 49 years ago today. The first American Football League-National Football League Championship Game was played on Jan. 15, 1967. It was the only âSuper Bowlâ game to be telecast by two television networks, to use two different footballs, to have two kickoffs for the second half, and to fail to sell out. Tickets at $15, $12 and $10 were thought to be overpriced.
