Super Bowl I telecast resurrected – sort of

The full game footage was long thought to be lost to history, but NFL Films was able to piece together the entire game, play-by-play, through diligent editing and sleuth work, NBC Sports reports.

The telecast of Super Bowl I, a broadcasting artifact, will be unveiled for the first time since its original airing thanks to the NFL Network. The game originally aired in 1967 on both CBS and NBC. Audio was added from the NBC Sports radio broadcast featuring Jim Simpson and George Ratterman, which wasn’t lost.

Making sure that visitors in town for the upcoming Santa Clara Super Bowl 50 don’t go home with food poisoning from bacon-wrapped hot dogs, city officials announced a crackdown on unpermitted street food vendors to take place the week of the big game.

The Packers beat Kansas City, 35-10, in the game that wasn’t a sellout with the game at the Los Angeles Coliseum attracting only 61,946 fans.

According to the league, the presentation will include wired sound from Lombardi, the hard-charging coach who would be dead of cancer just three years later.

A Santa Clara County judge will decide Tuesday whether to issue an injunction in the battle over youth soccer fields and their usage as a Super Bowl 50 media village.
