THE ROAD TO 43rd…SUPER BOWL XLIIl
This year will mark the 43rd anniversary of the very first Super Bowl, which took place on January 15, 1967. Green Bay won the game 35-10, led by Super Bowl MVP Bart Starr, as Kansas City suffered the NFL’s first Super Bowl loss.
The game will be a matchup between the 2008 American Football Conference (AFC) Champions and the 2008 National Football Conference (NFC) Champions. It is scheduled to be played on February 1, 2009 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, the second Super Bowl at this venue and the fourth overall in that city.
While times have changed, as have uniforms and equipment, the nostalgia that comes with this great game continue to live on. The Super Bowl is the single most watched sporting event of the year. There is not another TV show, sport, or event that ranks higher than the NFL’s Championship Game. |
