NFL Superbowl, which capped off the 1966 season, was on January 15, 1967 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Almost 62,000 fans were in the stadium to see Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers teach the Kansas City Chiefs a sore lesson about who was boss, to the tune of 35-10. Millions more watch the super cool new bowl game on TV; and thus a new football custom was born. Professional nfl superbowl as we know it began in 1920 with the 14-league American Professional Football Association. The APFA became the NFL in 1922, and had no solemn competition until 1960, when the fourth AFL became a major power. After years of bitter rivalry, the leagues were forced to broker a merger transaction to avoid financial ruin. The merger would be gradual, they decided: for the 1967 season, they would share a draft and a championship bowl, and by 1970 they would be merged into a single super football league of 26 teams, the NFL. The nfl superbowl was still on top, but this AFL gravely influenced the NFL, unlike its predecessor. High-powered passing strategies and end-zone celebrations are its most tough legacies.
