A TRADITION FOR THE NEW YEAR BEGAN
The ball was dropped for the first time in Times Square
on New Years Eve at midnight on January 1, 1907.
A New Year’s Eve ball has dropped in Times Square for
over 100 years, starting in 1907, with the exception of
1942 and 1943 when nightly “dimouts” occurred during
World War II to protect the city from attacks.
The crowd waiting for the New Year’s tradition to begin.

THE “FOG BOWL” WAS HELD ON THIS DAY
On December 31, 1988, the Chicago Bears defeated the
Philadelphia Eagles, 20-12, in a playoff game plagued
by a thick fog starting late in the first half.
Playing conditions at Soldier Field in Chicago become
problematic, and fans in attendance and television
viewers struggled to see the game, dubbed the "Fog
Bowl" by media.
The 20-12 victory by the home team put them into their
first NFC Championship since 1985.
