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 million
and 140 million people
watch at least
part of the game
