Good morning, Whitewater
It’s chilly today, in Whitewater, but it was much warmer in Los Angeles in 1967. More on that contrast, below.
In Whitewater, it’s so chilly, that there’s no school. Play, play, play — responsibly. Juveniles may be a matter of concern somewhere in the city, but go ahead — enjoy a day off.
There are no municipal public meetings scheduled for the City of Whitewater today, either.
Today’s an historic day in Wisconsin, and beyond, too: the Wisconsin Historical Society recounts that today was the day in 1967 that the Green Bay Packers Won the First Superbowl:
On this date the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the first Superbowl championship. The game was held at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, with 61,946 sports fans in attendance. The final score was 35 to 10. For their victory, the Packers collected $15,000 per player and the Chiefs $7,500 per player – the largest single-game shares in the history of team sports at that time.
