About Super Bowl

Many would argue that Super Bowl Sunday should be a national holiday in the U.S. as millions of eyes will be glued to a television watching the football game unfold. For a few thousand of those fans, they will be lucky enough to have Super Bowl tickets and get to see the history that is the Super Bowl live and in person.

That history began back in 1967, when the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs met up in Super Bowl I. At that time, the game was known as the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game" and would be the title game for two rival leagues, the American Football League and National Football League. Those people who had Super Bowl tickets for the first two seasons saw blow-outs by the Green Bay Packers from the more powerful NFL. Many viewed the NFL as far superior, and above a league like the AFL. But Super Bowl III changed that thought when Joe Namath guaranteed and delivered a victory for the New York Jets. The win helped spark a merger between the two leagues, creating the NFL as we know it today.

Since then the Super Bowl has grown each year and becoming the biggest sporting event in the World. Super Bowl tickets are so in demand that prices can soar into the thousands, the costs for advertising in the game are astronomical and annually the game is one of the highest rated programs on television.
