Tudor’s Answer to the Big Bowl

Tudor and Ward took on the Big Bowl challenge. Lee Payne got to work and designed a bowl-like grandstand for a special Ward-exclusive Electric Football game. The game was the 1966 Sports Classic “accordion” No. 600 model.

This put the Tudor and Ward in a head-to-head Christmas shopping season battle with Sears and Gotham.

The year of 1966 also proved to be a busy one for professional football, as the NFL and AFL agree to merge into a single league starting in 1970.

The two leagues also agreed to play an annual championship game starting with the 1966 season. This “super bowl,” as it would come be called, would end up being a legendary event for both professional and Electric Football.
