Super Bowl I
January 15, 1967 - Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Green Bay Packers 35
Kansas City Chiefs 10
One day Lamar Hunt, architect of the AFL and owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, came across his daughter's Super Ball and was given the inspiration for the name of the championship game between the upstart American Football League and the old-guard National Football League.
"Why not," he wondered, "call our championship game the Super Bowl?"
The name, however, wasn't applied to this first contest until a couple years later when it was retroactively labeled. The game itself, though, caught on quickly and thus, an American tradition was born.

SGT John " Mac " McConnell, the last time I saw the Kansas City Chiefs play live was in Nashville at then Adelphia Coliseum in the Tennessee Titans home opener on 10 September 2000. The Titans won in overtime, 17-14.
The real treat was the pre-game show, though. A B1-B bomber flew in right on the deck, and turned straight up on its tail right over the stadium and leveled out over Nashville. The sight was simply indescribable, the roar was deafening and the game was an after thought after that flyover!
