Pretty amazing that for a game that attracted 80% of the TV audience nationwide, they couldn't even sell out the game at the stadium. But the $12 tickets was probably why. That was BIG money back then. I was only a kid at the time but my father was making about $85 a week and I thought he was one of the richest men in the world when he would come home from work on Fridays and flash those bills around. My mother found $50 in his wallet once and she freaked out that he would walk around with that much money on him.
Anyway, I watched the game that day and vaguely recall the marching bands at halftime (that Al Hirt must have put on quite a show) but I have no recollection of all about Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr. Too bad the networks trashed the tapes. What were they thinking!
I remember watching this game at my aunt and uncles house....they had just got a new color tv. I vaguely remember Al Hirt that day..
