Kansas City Chiefs v. Minnesota Vikings
American Football's style of play in the 1970s can be described in one word. Slow. All the plays seemed to be slow developing even if they were just handoffs. Thats the other thing, handoffs were taken differently and backfield steps were way different then what they are now. Defense didn't seem to pursue the football either.
The fans were primarily men. Although this can be said about sporting events nowadays too, it was even more so back in the 1970s. In several shots from the video, you see only men. When you do see women they seem to be from the upper class. This can be because they have better seats which would lead to the woman wanting to come more.
The cheerleaders were way different. The cheerleaders were more like college cheerleaders than the "cheerleaders" in the NFL now.
KC coach, Hank Stram, wore a sportscoat, dress shirt, and slacks to his coaching jobs. He looked like a business man. There is not a single coach I can think of now days that wears that kind of stuff. Maybe in basketball but besides that not a one.
