The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum hosted the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game, later known as Super Bowl I, which took place on January 15, 1967. The National Football League champion Green Bay Packers faced off against the American Football League champion Kansas City Chiefs in front of a crowd of 63,036, as well as 50 million viewers at home on both the NBC and CBS television networks.
The Packers emerged victorious, 35-10, in a game that featured more than a dozen future Hall of Famers: Vince Lombardi, Herb Adderley, Willie Davis, Forrest Gregg, Paul Hornung, Henry Jordan, Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Willie Wood, Hank Stram, Bobby Bell, Buck Buchanan, Len Dawson, and Emmitt Thomas.
As would become synonymous with the Super Bowl’s history of memorable half-time shows, two men from Bell Aerosystems strapped on “jetpacks” for a demonstration inside the stadium, landing on the field near the 50 yard line.
