Couple things. I have my credential and a program from the first game. Not called the Super Bowl but the NFL/AFL Championship. I was an AC in those days loading film mags for my DP who happened to be my father. NFL Films has all the original footage from the game including all “Outs.”
I am under contract not to discuss football deals but I do have experience with MLB which has bought MLB footage from collectors, producers and camera people. They are tough bargainers and I have refused to sell old footage including original and many production prints. Ergo, baseball is cheap in buying but ridiculous in selling footage with a rate higher than any library that I am aware of. Tried to charge 60 Minutes a rate of $20,000 a minute.
