The 44th Super Bowl will be played on February 7, 2010 in Miami, Florida. Super Bowl party host and hostesses everywhere will be ready with their Super Bowl party decorations and Super Bowl party menus. But do have your Super Bowl history ready? In less time than it takes to baste your chicken wings, you can bone up on some Super Bowl history here.

When was the first Super Bowl played?

The first Super Bowl was played on January 15, 1967. Teams from the AFL and NFL had never played before, not even in a scrimmage.

The Kansas City Chiefs played the Green Bay Packers in front of the smallest Super Bowl crowd to date, 61, 946 people.

Who won the first Super Bowl?

The Green Bay Packers, coached by Vince Lombardi, beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35 to 10.

What is the name of the Super Bowl trophy?

The Super Bowl trophy is affectionately known as the Vince Lombardi trophy after the Packers coach who led his team to Super Bowl victory in not only the first, but also the second Super Bowl.

Which coach has the most wins in Super Bowl history?

Chuck Noll went to the Super Bowl four times with Pittsburg Steelers and took home the win all four times. Don Shula went to the Super Bowl six times. He went once with the Baltimore Colts and five times with the Miami Dolphins and took home the trophy twice.

Which Super Bowl championship game had the closest score?

The smallest margin of victory in a Super Game was 1 point when the New York Giants beat the Buffalo Bills 20 to 19 in Super Bowl XXV in 1991. Many football fans hail Super Bowl XXV as the best Super Bowl game ever.

Interestingly, the largest margin in a Super Bowl game had occurred just the year before in 1990 when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 55 to 10. The 45-point winning margin is the largest in Super Bowl history.

How many times has the Super Bowl been played in Miami?

With promises of pleasant weather in February, Miami has been chosen to host the Super Bowl nine previous times. Miami first hosted Super Bowl II in 1968 and most recently hosted Super Bowl XLI in 2007.

Interesting Super Bowl fan trivia:

Millions are watching the Super Bowl and it shows. Police report less crime during Super Bowl Games and hospitals admit less people. Super Bowl Sunday game time also leaves California’s normally jammed-packed freeways running more smoothly and Colorado ski slopes are at a lull.
