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.

They had better half-time shows then. IIRC, Superbowl I had a college marching band.

[Fiji Hill]

TV networks blacked out the Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area, so local rock stations and other sources provided instructions on how to construct makeshift “Super Bowl antennas” in order to pick up the game in San Diego. I listened to the game on the radio.

I went to that game while on short leave in the Army. The stadium was not even close to full and my team lost. The ticket stub is supposed to be worth something, but I probably just tossed it.

My Mom, drove my 10 year old brother from Orange County to downtown LA to see that game. Tickets were readily available. I was 17 at the time and went to Church Youth group. I can’t believe they went. My brother still has the program.

Looking back, God is probably shaking his head. There were lots of Sundays of Youth Group, but their was only one original Superbowl (even though that name came later).

Hank Stram was a great coach and the Chiefs in those days were awesome. Stram later teamed up with Jack Buck to become one of the best NFL play-by-play radio announcers ever.

[hinckley buzzard]

remember that game well. It highlighted what at the time was the disparity of game between the NFL and the AFL. The hit on Otis Taylor early on was immortal.

[Vendome]

How exciting....

[yarddog]

I would like to see it even tho I no longer watch NFL games.

I remember it was not even close to a sell out. A Green Bay sub who was I think in his last season ended up being a hero. I think it was Max McGee.

Bart Starr was his usual brilliant self and was named MVP. Back then the QB called the plays in the huddle and Starr was the best.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I’m predicting a Packer win!

[Yorlik803]

Those were real men.

[B-Cause]

Lived in Maitland, Florida, at that time, working for Tektronix, Inc., and spent most of my time at the Cape in those days. The day of the game I was on planes to Portland, Oregon, for meetings and the pilot kept coming on the P.A. updating the passengers on the score.

[stylin19a]

It wasn’t called the Super Bowl then.

[TBP]

Which telecast are they using?

Re: The First AFL-NFL World Championship Game is to be played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. The established National Football League champion Green Bay Packers takes on the upstart American Football League champion Kansas City Chiefs

Thanks big-- Looks like your high and might Packers are way too confident... after slipping by my Cowboys January 1st in the Cotton Bowl.

And while I'm not a betting man, give me the Chiefs and 26 points... & I'll lay down some serious cash--

[submarinerswife]

I would love to see the original commercial breaks from 1967, also.
