Kicking off the week before the
Super Bowl in a new twist this year, the Pro Bowl has grown into
one of the biggest events of the NFL season. This annual contest
between the stars of the NFC and AFC has become a point of pride
for both sides, with the winner getting bragging rights for
another season.
A postseason
All-Star game between the new league champion and a team of
professional all-stars was added to the NFL schedule in January
1939, at the end of the 1938 season. In the first game at
Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, CA the New York Giants beat a team
made up of players from NFL teams and two independent clubs the
Los Angeles Bulldogs and the Hollywood Stars. An all-NFL
All-Star team provided the opposition over the next four
seasons, but the event was cancelled after the game at the close
of the 1942 season.
The NFL revived the game in January 1951, after the 1950 pro
football season. It was a contest between conference all-star
teams: American vs National (1951-53), Eastern vs Western
(1954-1970), and now, the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl format, which began
in 1971, rotated annually between host sites until 1980 when it
moved to Honolulu. NOw history will be made in the Pro bowl
again as it will be hosted in South Florida, Dallas.
