This Month in Electrical History: January 15, 1967 – The First Super Bowl Powered by Stadium Lighting
On January 15, 1967, the first-ever Super Bowl (Super Bowl I) was played between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. While the game itself made history, it also marked a milestone in electrical engineering—the widespread use of high-intensity stadium lighting for a major televised sporting event. Advancements in stadium illumination allowed the game to be broadcast in vivid detail to millions of viewers, setting the standard for future night games and live sports entertainment. This breakthrough in electrical lighting systems ensured that athletes, spectators, and TV audiences could experience high-quality visibility, transforming the way professional sports were played and viewed.
Today, modern stadiums rely on LED technology and smart lighting systems, a testament to how far electrical innovation has come in shaping entertainment experiences.
