Most people would consider themselves lucky to get to go to a Super Bowl, but three men — the last three surviving members of the Never Miss a Super Bowl Club — have been to every one. As you know, this year’s Super Bowl was the 56th one, and it was also the 56th one that Tom Henschel, 80, Don Crisman, 85, and Gregory Eaton, 82, attended.
Crisman and Henschel met before Super Bowl XVII (17) while waiting in line to see Johnny Carson. "I overheard him mention the Super Bowl and how it would be his 17th time," Henschel recalls. "I said 'You guys have gone to every game? So have I!'" That day, they started the Never Miss a Super Bowl Club. Over the years, the club's numbers grew as people found out about it, but in recent years, its membership has dwindled down to just the three of them.
This year was the fifth game that the three men have attended together. The $25-hundred dollar tickets are a bit more than the $12 it cost to attend Super Bowl I back in 1967. Henschel admits he never thought he’d make it this far. "When I hit 25 I knew I could hit maybe 40. And I hit 40 and I said 'I really have to hit 50'," he says. "Now my goal is 60."
