development
In 1920 the American Professional Football Association was founded, from which today's NFL emerged. The first league champions were the Akron Pros , who won the regular season with eight wins: There were no playoffs based on today's model at the time. It was not until 1932 that the first NFL Championship Game existed , in which the champions of the Western Conference, the Chicago Bears , beat the Eastern champions New York Giants 23-21. Until 1966, the NFL played its own championship.
The first Super Bowl based on today's model was played in 1967 as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game , in which the winner of the traditional NFL competed against the winner of the younger and rival American Football League (AFL) for the first time. After the 1970 merger of the two leagues since completed the winners of the two occur Conferences American Football Conference and National Football Conference in the Super Bowl against each other.
The term Super Bowl was invented in 1967 through a play on words by Lamar Hunt , owner of the Kansas City Chiefs , when he saw his daughter playing with a toy called the Super Ball . It stands in tradition for the finals in college football, which were already called the Bowl Games back then . Since 1969 the name Super Bowl has been officially used for the finals, and the two AFL-NFL World Championship Games of 1967 and 1968 that had been played up to that point were subsequently renamed Super Bowl I and II. Roman numerals are used for numbering . An exception to this is the 50th Super Bowl (2016), which is referred to as Super Bowl 50 . This is followed by the usual numbering.
The venue is usually set three to five years in advance. The game mainly takes place in the southern states of the USA, as the climatic conditions there are more pleasant at the beginning of the year than in the rest of the United States. So far, no team has been able to take part in a Super Bowl in their own stadium.
In 2017 , the Super Bowl was decided in overtime for the first time in history .
