Norma Hunt sweetly kisses the Lamar Hunt Trophy and is headed to her 54th Super Bowl
In the days leading up to Super Bowl 50, Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt was talking with his mother about how she has attended every single Super Bowl.
“You know it sure would be nice to see our team in the game sometime,” Norma Hunt told Clark, as he recalled Sunday following the Chiefs’ 35-24 victory over the Titans in the AFC Championship Game.
Norma Hunt’s record Super Bowl streak will continue (54 and counting) and yes, she will get to see the Chiefs in Miami.
“So we’ve got that checked off,” Clark Hunt said Sunday.
For the first time since the AFC champion’s trophy was named for Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt in 1984, it has a place in Kansas City.
Former Chiefs linebacker Bobby Bell presented the trophy to Clark Hunt and his family and said: “I’d like to present this to Clark and Norma Hunt, congratulations: the Lamar Hunt Trophy.”
Norma then gave a gentle kiss to the trophy that bears her late husband’s name.
“He loved the fans more than any person than I have ever known,” Norma Hunt said during Sunday’s trophy presentation. “Plus great coach, great staff, great team, great fans.”
When meeting with the media about an hour later, Clark Hunt said: “It’s a tremendous day for our family and to see my mom get to hold and kiss this trophy really means a lot.”
Here was Andy Reid leading the crowd in a “How ‘bout those Chiefs!”
