That's a long ass time ago.

I was the youngest of 5. I watched it with my Brothers and Dad on the only Colored TV our Family had - at my Grandmother's house. It was a massive console set. Looked kind of like this:

If your folks bought that from Sears, then we had the exact same TV.

I remember we had the only color TV of any of the families at our church back then. It was amazing - the pastor would get going and no telling when the sermon would end, except from Sept to Dec., then the sermon always ended at 11:30 - so he could get to our house by 12 to watch the Chiefs in color. *grin*

We didn't have one - it was my Grandmothers. We owned a HUGE black and white console and a small black and white that sat on a stand in our garage (which was converted into a makeshift Family Room).

And yes, if we didn't go to the game, Grandma's house was very popular on Game Day:)

Not so coincidentally 46 years ago I was concieved.

We had a black and white TV until I was six or so, which was always confusing when a TV show would be advertised as being "in living color". Then my parents bought a TV kind of like this (same layout, but my parents had a more 60s-mod style than this picture):

I suspect it was pretty cutting edge at the time with the phonograph player and radio to go along with the TV. But the thing I remember most about it was the weight. We moved a lot, and that thing was astoundingly heavy. It had a solid wood cabinet, a lot of tube stuff, and I suspect the speakers were really heavy. As a kid, it was like lifting a car.

[ptlyon]

Yeah, but it ain't no Telefunken!

[WilliamTheIrish]

I watched it on a B&W. The radio broadcast was recorded on a TEAC reel to reel. But that tape disintegrated or was lost. Big family. Maybe somebody has it.

[gblowfish]

I remember that day. We watched the game on our Magnavox color TV. My dad was the happiest I had ever seen him when the game was over. I was happy too, and then I went down to the lake at the foot of our street and played hockey until the sun went down. The lake was frozen, and we could skate on it. It was a great day.

Good god, that thing must weigh 900lbs.

This thread smells like old person.

Not that's there anything wrong with that.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Earsoll MacBee still hurts from where OT trucked him on the way to the championship clinching TD.

Dat high-step tho...

[007]

I was alive for it but not old enough to know what football was yet.

[Coyote]

Yeah that was a long time ago. I have an AFL display (3 white panels) football signed by all players on that team that 1 of them wrote, "1970 World Champions" on behind my bar. Remains my favorite Chiefs gear. Had it since I was a kid and then thought that SB appearances would come frequently. Not so much. Hoping for a different outcome but same match up from SB I for SB 50.

[HemiEd]

I was able to watch it a couple months later on Armed Forces TV on Guam. :D

We had something identical to this but no TV because we were poor and couldn't afford the upgrade! ROFL

It was the day I became Chiefs fan at 6 1/2 years old

Otis Taylor needs to be in the HOF. I hope they put him in before he's dead.

That's how I watched it too. I was about 3 feet from the screen too.

Biggest travesty in the NFL.

Hey you young whipper snapper, I resemble that remark ROFL

[REDHOTGTO]

I remember Tv's like that too, I was the remote control for dad

[Aries Walker]

That game was the reason I became a Chiefs fan at all; I was the only one of us four siblings that was born while we lived in Overland Park, which we did when they won. It was only later that I found out the history of the team and how Lamar Hunt essentially made the NFL, so that was a nice bonus.

[GMitch]

I was in the Air Force, stationed in Duluth, Minn then. Had to listen to a lot of crap from the locals about how bad the Vikes would beat the Chiefs then after the game had fun collecting on the bets.
