<P> The Texans shared the Cotton Bowl with the NFL's cross-town competition Dallas Cowboys for three seasons . The Texans were to have exclusive access to the stadium until the NFL put an expansion team, the Dallas Cowboys, there . While the team averaged a league - best 24,500 at the Cotton Bowl, the Texans gained less attention due to the AFL's relatively lower profile compared to the NFL . In the franchise's first two seasons, the team managed only a 8--6 and 6--8 record, respectively . In their third season, the Texans strolled to an 11--3 record and a berth in the team's first American Football League Championship Game, against the Houston Oilers . The game was broadcast nationally on ABC and the Texans defeated the Oilers 20--17 in double overtime . The game lasted 77 minutes and 54 seconds, which still stands as the longest championship game in professional football history . </P> <P> It turned out to be the last game the team would play as the Dallas Texans . Despite competing against a Cowboys team that managed only a 9--28--3 record in their first three seasons, Hunt decided that the Dallas--Fort Worth media market could not sustain two professional football franchises . He considered moving the Texans to either Atlanta or Miami for the 1963 season . However, he was ultimately swayed by an offer from Kansas City Mayor Harold Roe Bartle . Bartle promised to triple the franchise's season ticket sales and expand the seating capacity of Municipal Stadium to accommodate the team . </P> <P> Hunt agreed to relocate the franchise to Kansas City on May 22, 1963, and on May 26 the team was renamed the Kansas City Chiefs . Hunt and head coach Hank Stram initially planned to retain the Texans name, but a fan contest determined the new "Chiefs" name in honor of Mayor Bartle's nickname that he acquired in his professional role as Scout Executive of the St. Joseph and Kansas City Boy Scout Councils and founder of the Scouting Society, the Tribe of Mic - O - Say . A total of 4,866 entries were received with 1,020 different names being suggested, including a total of 42 entrants who selected "Chiefs ." The two names that received the most popular votes were "Mules" and "Royals" (which, 6 years later, would be the name of the city's Major League Baseball expansion franchise in 1969, after the Athletics left Kansas City for Oakland following the 1967 season). </P> <P> The franchise became one of the strongest teams in the now thriving American Football League, with the most playoff appearances for an AFL team (tied with the Oakland Raiders), and the most AFL Championships (3). The team's dominance helped Lamar Hunt become a central figure in negotiations with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle to agree on an AFL--NFL merger . In the meetings between the two leagues, a merged league championship game was agreed to be played in January 1967 following the conclusion of the leagues' respective 1966 seasons . Hunt insisted on calling the game the "Super Bowl" after seeing his children playing with a popular toy at the time, a Super Ball . While the first few games were designated the "AFL--NFL World Championship Game", the Super Bowl name became its officially licensed title in years to come . </P>
