8. Replay of Superbowl One - GB vs KC

except not played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. In -14F temperature.

I think all AFC/NFC Championships (Superbowl's) should be played at Lambeau Field.
It's one reason there is a Lombardi Trophy. Packers have 13 Championships, more than any other team.
That's the equivalent of 13 Lombardi Trophies.
Football has had championship games since the early 1930's.

Football should be played outside, in the very cold of Feb, with 70,000 fans, none of which are very far from the field.
The noise at Lambeau is unique. Players can hear what fans scream.

Lambeau's design is an intimate experience for fans and is considered the best place to play football, by NFL players (very important) and ESPN (not important) who have voted it as the best stadium. It's over 100 years of football history in one location, almost a national museum of the sport.

The last 2020 home game had several hundred first responders as guests. No season ticket holders were allowed.

Owned by the fans, it's the only not-for-profit football team in America.
It can never host another Superbowl, as the city is too small to accommodate the crowds who demand to attend or the commercial aspects required for the event.

But every Superbowl will always feature a lot of talk about Lambeau, Lombardi, and Green Bay. The merger of the AFL & NFL into the AFC & NFC is the reason we have a Superbowl, which is the world championship.

This year, Packers have a bye and home field throughout the playoffs. Again.
And a replay of Superbowl 1 could be a lot of fun with Rogers and Mahommes in the Bart Starr - Len Dawson roles.
