Super Bowl fun facts. Our law firm hopes everyone enjoys the game.
Each team playing in the Super Bowl gets 108 footballs.
Tickets for the very first Super Bowl in 1967 cost an average of $6, which was apparently too pricey for many.
The Super Bowl wasn't always known as the Super Bowl. Its first two games were known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game.
Hotel pools, public pools, and natural bodies of water in Florida are a lot of fun. When they are negligent in proper maintenance and mandatory compliance, you can incur grave injuries or even a drowning death. santamarialaw.net/drowning-near-drowning-cases.
