- 4 years ago
This Day in History:
Packers Face Chiefs
in the First Super Bowl January 15, 1967 At the Los Angeles Coliseum,
the Green Bay Packers beat
the Kansas City Chiefs
by a score of 35-10. That historic first-game
was played before a
non-sell-out crowd
of 61,946 people. Green Bay scored
three touchdowns in
the second half to
defeat Kansas City. For their win, each
member of the Packers
collected $15,000. At the time, the amount
was the largest single-
game payout in the
history of team sports. Today, a 30-second
Super Bowl commercial can cost as much as $2.5 million. Between 130 and 140 million people
watch at least part of the game.
