The “Holy Grail” of Football: The First Super Bowl Broadcast!

The Paley Center is pleased to present a rare public screening of the “Holy Grail” for all football fans, the first televised Super Bowl, between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, a championship game that was long thought lost. The Paley Center received a two-inch tape from Troy Haupt whose father recorded the game at a Scranton television station. Paley worked to restore and preserve this only known broadcast copy of the 1967 Super Bowl, which was telecast by two networks but not saved by either one. This unique recording has imperfections, including missing the opening of the second half, but here is the most complete telecast of the game that started an enduring American tradition. (CBS; 1967; 95 min.)
