NEW ORLEANS — In a quiet corner across from the Tulane University Reily Student Recreation Center, near a campus soccer field, sits a stone marking the location of Super Bowl IV. It’s a reminder of a game that set the stage for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the city of New Orleans. It was Kansas City's first Super Bowl title and the city's first time hosting the event, a game you could attend for just $15. It was a price hike from Super Bowl I in Los Angeles.
