Some people say they grew up at Fenway Park or Dodger Stadium, for me it was football and growing up at Mile High Stadium watching the Denver Broncos. Actually, I first started going to Denver Broncos’ football games before it was even called Mile High Stadium.

Before 1967, there wasn’t a Super Bowl, there was just the NFL Championship. A rival league to the NFL started in 1960 and was called the American Football League (AFL). The AFL became a major rival to the NFL with many fans across the country. It was decided that the two leagues should play in a championship game. The first Super Bowl was played in January 1967 and it wasn’t even a sellout. The two leagues merged and today the Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in America.
