One of the greatest American sports traditions to have ever started was the champions of championship games known as the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl was the clash of the titans from which dozens of teams would go head to head in a battle of strengths and wits until only two victorious teams finished in top place only to have to face each other in the Super Bowl final.

Warmer weather is another contributing factor to the choice of venue as is these days stadiums that have domes to protect the game and the crowd from the weather and external factors.

Many things have changed dramatically from those days, not only in style of plays, techniques, training facilities and uniforms but also in the sponsorship that brings money into the game plus factors like players salaries and benefits.
