Super Bowl’s Emergence: Brief Overview
The first Super Bowl took place on January 15, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in California. It was born out of the 1967 merger of the NFL and AFL and as part of the deal. The term "Super Bowl" was introduced by Lamar Hunt, the then Kansas City Chiefs owner. Every year, the Super Bowl winners get to take the Tiffany & Co. designed Vince Lombardi trophy home.
