I never saw it. I lived in Los Angeles at the time. The Super Bowl game was blacked out. Not enough tickets were sold for the game at the Coliseum. I remember some people attached wire coat hangers to broomsticks and attached the broomsticks with wire coat hangers to their TV antennas. They tried to pick up the TV signal from the San Diego TV stations. It did not work very well.

I thought the name “Super Bowl” was a stupid name for an exhibition game between the NFL champ and the AFL minor league. Joe Namath and the Jets changed all that.

It was called the NFL-AFL Championship Game for I and II, then Superbowl for III.
