Thanks for your service !!!

@@0159ralph Thank you.

Thank you for your service. I wondered how much hype there was, I was born in 1969 and had heard that the game was not sold out but it does seem like there would be a fair amount of hype since it was the first.

@@dougfowler1368 Thank you. If I remember correctly, the game was sold out, and the cameras were constantly showing the 'rich and famous' who attended this first ever 'Super Bowl' game. The hype was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Every football fan in America could not wait to find out which football league was superior...the long time NFL, or the 'upstart' AFL which had been in existence since 1960. After the AFL won the third and fourth Super Bowls, the NFL decided it was time to talk merger. LOL!!

@@felixmadison5736 the merger was a done deal before the first Super Bowl. The NFL-AFL Championship Game (Super Bowl) was part of the merger. The merger was announced on the evening of June 8, 1966. Under the merger agreement, the leagues maintained separate regular-season schedules for the next four seasons-from 1966 through 1969 with a final championship game which would become known as the Super Bowl-and then officially merged before the 1970 season to form one league with two conferences.

I can remember Bart Starr's QB sneak in the ice bowl!WEDGE 31! Watch the replay...refreshing to see Jethro Pugh get knocked ON HIS BACKSIDE!!! KEN BOMAN, JERRY KRAMER, CHUCK MERCEIN.....

Man I'd love to hear some stories from the wise

I was a seven year old kid then and don't remember paying any attention to this game at the time. I wasn't a Packers fan and didn't get interested in football in general until '68, but then I started reading every football related thing I could get my hands on. At a thrift shop one day I begged my mom to buy me a used paperback copy of Jerry Kramer's "Instant Replay" just because it had a picture of a football player (Kramer) on the cover. I loved that book. In case you haven't read it, it follows the Packers through the entire '67 season from Kramer's point of view, from pre season conditioning through the season, culminating with Kramer's famous block on the goal line in the Ice Bowl, and the second NFL-AFL championship game. Because of that book, all of the Packer names in this game are very familiar to me. Something reminded me of that book a year or two ago, so I bought another copy and read it. I was curious if fifty-plus years later I would still enjoy it, and I did. I still think it's a good read.

McGee should have been the MVP, IMHO.

But I'm sure we all can agree that it was right to name the trophy after Vince Lombardi.

​@@rustyrelicsfarm2406Being a lifetime Packers fan I'd have to agree but I may be a bit biased. However his accomplishments are very evident and his success is on display. His Packers teams were the "Dynasty" of the 60's. Since his team won the first two 🏆Championship🏆 games, Vince Lombardi's name is well deserving to be on the trophy🏆.

They couldn't even share the full NBC-TV audio that they have. MLB and NBA would never. I cannot stand with the NFL.

Didn't end so good for you.

@@imorvit Lost by 3. :(

@@imorvit But Ended Perfectly for Kansas City!

LOL

Ok

Theres something about starting from the very beginning that always deepens your appreciation of whatever you're studying.

Been a Cheesehead since 1966.Some bad years in 70 80s .They have had good management and revenue sharing helps keep teams in Balance.

Not surprising if that . Only watch old NFL games and Highlights. When I need 10 talking heads and every game and play is the Championship, I'll let You know , Can a family go to a game?

How is the NFL fan is the best Asante call AFL but Kansas City Chiefs fan 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Hall of Fame

Listen to the podcast Pablo Torre finds out.

Nfl ony care about money and attendance numbers they can care less about the history

The first ever Super Bowl touchdown being a one handed catch is amazing

AND Mcgee was hungover from partying because he didn’t expect to play in the game 🤣🤣

@@espiritucallejero9127Yeah great story 😂 he only got in bc #86 Boyd Dollar got hurt opening drive. He had a reoccurring shoulder injury. Apparently McGee kept asking Dollar if he was gonna stick out the injury out of nervousness and cursed when he got hurt lol

most american story to ever live. hungover before a football game, then caught it one handed in the first ever superbowl

The only super bowl not to sellout

@@barbaradarnell7376Yeah, it hadn't caught on yet.

I think it holds 80,000 people.

@@haveanicedave1551Only 17,000 shy of a sellout. Not too bad.

I would imagine that it was more or less like a post-season exhibition game between the two league champions. Bragging rights, mainly.

You and about 10 more.

Great catch no showing off, just doing his job.

@@kevinharris5737So true. Give the ball to the ref and let's get back to business. I don't want to see any celebrating unless it's after you've just won the game.

I think the AFL appealed to the younger generation. I always rooted for the Raiders, Chiefs and Jets. Seemed like adults liked the NFL.

It's funny because he wasn't even expecting to play in the game lol. He had been partying all the night before.

Oh yeah. There was a dinner the night before where executives and families of the two leagues met. It was said to be more of a staring contest, as each leagues members stuck with their respective "families"..

I wish the AFL would have remained a separate league.

The halftime show also included trumpeter Al Hirt.

Most of the male fans wore a necktie.

Some players smoked on sideline.

@@richardtrudeau7363 Max McGee

That’s interesting because the Chiefs, Raiders and Jets were so much better than any team from the AFL East, although I think Boston had just won two AFL championships in ‘65 and ‘66, (I may be wrong).

Actually, I believe it was Buffalo that won the previous two AFL titles, although Boston did play in one title game. The AFL West probably had more talent, but the Bills and Patriots had teams with more mature players. I also believe each had some who came over from the NFL, and were familiar with Green Bay. The Packers may have also overwhelmed Buffalo or Boston, who knows. It's pure speculation.

​@@gregford2103KC beat buffalo in the 1966 AFL championship in buffalo rather easily 31-7.

Wonder if she is still alive. She was gorgeous

fax bruh i noticed thew same thing

If she's still alive, u should try finding her then get her number lol😂 yea she was gorgeous kinda wish I was like, 25 back then I coulda met her lol😂

Well, Starr's entire offensive line was on the All-Pro team. To Starr's credit, not even his line could hold off L.A.'s 'Fearsome Foursome." Sacked 7 times in the 1967 Conference Championship game, Starr still led the Packers to a 28-7 victory. By contrast, the Fearsome Foursome ate Johnny Unitas for lunch to defeat the previously undefeated Colts in the last regular season game and put the Rams into the Conference Championship where they got stomped by the Packers.

I have read 8 to 12 dollars for game tickets, the day of the game they were offered for free to people passing by, most expected a Packer slaughter and turned them down.

Which GOAT from the Packers? they had a whole team of them

SB is still played in the afternoon. This year and the last two SB have been either 330 or 4:30pm at the start of kickoff. Almost all SBs are now a days are played inside though.

@@eamonkelley3811 3:30 Pacific time but 6:30 Easter time. So probably dark in the East I would guess.

My first SB was Raiders/Eagles. I've missed a few since. Giants/Ravens. I had to work, set VCR to wrong channel. Come home and find out my mistake. Also missed Buccaneers/Raiders.

It took years to find a tape of SBI out there. New finds are being discovered all the time - just maybe SBII may yet be found. The radio broadcasts of both SBI(both CBS and NBC) and SBII(CBS) are available on KZfaq.

Thus far there isn’t any remaining broadcast footage of the second Super Bowl. There’s NFL Films highlight reels, and radio broadcasts, but the broadcast footage might be lost to history. An unintentional side effect of NFL Films being around is that the networks in the 60’s and early to mid 70’s didn’t prioritize the preservation of their telecasts of NFL games because another source was filming highlights of the games. We don’t get a near complete archive of broadcast footage of NFL games until 1978 or so, but fortunately, Super Bowl 5 or 6 is the last one where we might be missing some footage, and everything after that has been preserved in full.

@@fortynights1513Interesting. Are the videos of SBIII out there the complete game? Or are they parts of the game? I thought I saw a complete SBIII but I could be wrong.

The game is sort of going back to that type of athlete out of the backfield now

No one has the original broadcast but there are things close to it. I will try to upload the closest thing available.

@@lizardoutlaw9512Is Superbowl II available in any condition for upload? I’d love to watch that game. Thanks. (Nevermind, I see it on your channel).

What’s the cost? Just save it on a tape or a real whatever it was and put it in a drawer. Cost nothing. Piece of history is priceless.

@@Stovetopcookie right, but the network erased the original broadcast, because it was expensive to save tapes back in the day apparently. Also, the league was still young, and depended on gate/concessions more than tv ads. It was the 60s🤣🤣

I don't think they realized the historical significance of this game.

@@user-vo6ic7ml4c You wanna talk about cheap? Those old video-tapes were $65.00 a reel! Not nothing, but say 5 or 6 reels to save a Super Bowl was a drop in the bucket.

Same reason NASA taped over their Apollo 11 telemetry tapes. It was common practice back then to reuse tape because it was expensive to buy and expensive to store and archive. I have first hand experience with this. I worked at a recording studio in Los Angeles in the ‘80s. They had a huge room full of used 2” master tape and they didn’t know what to do with it. I took it upon myself to clean up the room and organize the tapes, but it still didn’t solve the problem of what to do with all that tape. If they knew then what we know today, they would have carefully gone through each tape, archived the important tapes, and reused the tapes that weren’t important. Soon after, this kind of tape would be hard to come by and very expensive to buy. Plus the value of master recordings shot up dramatically. We had some old Bing Crosby original master tapes lying around back there and they were treated like leftover junk in the ‘80s. I bet those tapes were thrown in a dumpster after I left.

$140k today... not much for modern NFL payouts, but a big deal at the time!

That was more than what a lot of people made in one year back then. My father didn't make that much in one year.

WOW! that would make sense, a comedy of errors!!😂😂😂😂

They literally talked about that and covered it in the video….

Them damn cowboys I tell you hwhat

Too bad no one in the Los Angeles area could see it at the time because of the blackout rules on local telecasting.

Thanks

This is amazing. Way better than that highlight video. Amazing quality!

I believe there is 1 copy, but there's a bunch of shit going on between the nfl and the tape owner

Ah I hadn't heard that. I read somewhere that it was just taped over. In the 60's, rerunning sporting events was a foreign thought. I think it's the same with Super Bowl 2. From 3 on you can find the full game.@@dansmith498

​@@dansmith498the guy wants a million dollars for the tape NFL offered him 30 grand for it they didn't make a deal

​@@howardanon7433The NFL is the most profitable league yet they're too cheap to fork over a measly 1 million dollars? Something's wrong here!

@@dansmith498correct

The audio is from NBC radio. That’s not local radio but rather National radio with Jim Simpson doing play-by-play and George Ratterman adding color-commentary.

@@johncirillo9544 Still, worth watching and reminiscing over a historical event.

​@@johncirillo9544I heard the original NBC Television Audio of the game exist with Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman calling the game
