Super Bowl I between the winners of the NFL championship and the American Football League championship was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Jan. 15, 1967. The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum also hosted Super Bowl VII between the Miami Dolphins and then-Washington Redskins.

Since then, the other five Super Bowls were played in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Super Bowl XXVII saw the Dallas Cowboys beat the Buffalo Bills 52-17 on Jan. 31, 1993.

According to Los Angeles Tourism, the city has changed quite a bit since the first inception of the Super Bowl.
