[h=1]Turns out one football fan did record Super Bowl I in 1967 and left it to his family after his death. It is the only known copy of the broadcast. In a true David vs. Goliath fight, the NFL has threatened to sue the family if they do anything with the recording so it sits in a vault unseen.[/h][h=1]If enough of us fans unite together in this campaign, we can make the Super Bowl I broadcast recording available for everyone to watch for the first time in over 50 years![/h][h=1]Let's make history together.[/h][FONT="]Before anyone knew that it would become a national holiday, the first Super Bowl was played in 1967 with the Green Bay Packers beating AFL upstarts the Kansas City Chiefs in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The game aired simultaneously on NBC and CBS, but neither network nor the NFL preserved a copy of the broadcast, choosing instead to save a few dollars by reusing the video tape to record soap operas. It was thought lost forever... until now. [/FONT]
[FONT="]By chance, Troy Haupt and his childhood friend saw the Sports Illustrated article and recalled seeing a box with "Super Bowl 1" written on it in Troy's mom’s attic decades before when they were kids in Shamokin, PA. Turns out, Troy's now deceased father had recorded the game back in 1967 on ancient quadruplex reels. After great efforts to find a working quadruplex machine to play the reels, it was officially discovered that they did indeed contain a recording of Super Bowl I broadcast. To date, it is the only known recording that exists. [/FONT]
