A bit of history: The first Super Bowl was played January 15, 1967, however the event was then known as the "NFL-AFL World Championship. In 1969 the name was shortened to "Super Bowl". In 1969, the first "Super Bowl" game had the Green Bay Packers playing the Kansas City Chiefs. Green Bay won that game and also won the 1970 Super Bowl game. Later that year their longtime, very successful coach, Vince Lombardi passed away. The Super Bowl Trophy was named the Vince Lombardi Trophy prior to Super Bowl V.
So is it the game that particularly interests you? Is it the commercials that get your attention? How about the entertainment? The cast of entertainers this year is quite spectacular.
