Why is it called the super bowl?
Sunday, January 14, 207
Professional Football Commissioner Pete Rozelle wanted to call the match between the AFL and NFL champs "The Big One." During discussions to iron out the details, AFL founder and Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt had jokingly referred to the proposed interleague game as the "Super Bowl." Hunt thought of the name after seeing his daughter playing with a toy popular at the time called a Super Ball. That ball is now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
