There isn't a sport in the country that generates the kind of excitement football does. Since the time this amazing sport was played for the first time to this very day and age it has been at the forefront of the sports culture of the nation. It is now without a doubt the most watched annual sporting extravaganza. The new season is about to start so this is your chance to grab football tickets and catch the excitement live.

Football in the U.S is played under NFL and the NCAA. The former might be the biggest professional league in the country but the sport began from the college level. The first recorded game in history was played in the year 1869 when Rutgers took on Princeton University. Walter Camp arrived onto the scene and came up with a few new rules at the start of 1880's. Those changes turned the game on its head and put it on the way to becoming the phenomenon we see today.

Harvard built the country's first ever football stadium in 1903. More changes like the introduction of the forward pass rule were incorporated which in turn made the sport more exciting to watch. The sport began on college levels and put it on its way to becoming the rage it is today but it was the arrival of the NFL that turned it global.

NFL was created in 1920 by a group of four teams Dayton Triangles, Akron Pros, Cleveland Indians and the Canton Bulldogs came together. The entity was named the American Professional Football Association. It was in 1922 that the name was changed to National Football League.

The league had to encounter financial issues during the first few years but it came out of it and football began witness tremendous growth. By the mid 1900's the NFL had joined the ranks of the most watched leagues in the country. The American League was formed in 1960 and posed a serious threat to the NFL. The league competed on almost every front but the NFL finally triumphed and the AL merged into it.

NFL now has two conferences the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Each of these two conferences contains four divisions South, East, West and North. The teams with best records are crowned division champions who are then joined by two wild card entrants in the playoffs. The teams that come out on top in both conferences are crowned conference champions and they go on to headline the "Super Bowl," one of the most watched sporting events in the world.

Football at both college level and during the NFL season is a spectacle unlike any other. If NCAA shows the most promising young talent in the country then the NFL provides the stage for the biggest stars in the sport to shine. The latest season will not be any different so book your football tickets and watch all the action unfold live.
