Do you think you know about football? How about the Big Game? Here are some interesting tidbits about the big game you may not be aware of.

The Winning Team is Allotted 150 Big Game Rings
Each Big Game winning team is allotted 150 rings to give to its players, coaches, front office personnel, and even injured or traded players. This means there are a LOT of people with Big Game rings who have never played in the game.
Tickets to Big Game I Were Cheap
Tickets between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs in Big Game I averagedย $12. Even adjusted for inflation, that would still make them a bargain today atย $87. At the time, however, people viewed the tickets as an expensive rip-off.
Only Four Teams Have Never Been to the Big Game
The Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Houston Texans have all never made it to the Big Game.
The Game Was Named After a Toy
Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, is credited with naming the big game after a simple, popular toy at the time. The toy was a high-bouncing rubber ball called the Super Ball.
The Highs and Lows of Big Game Scores
