Official program from the 1963 NFL Championship Game at Wrigley Field where the host Chicago Bears squared off against the visiting New York Giants. This was the Giants fifth NFL Championship Game in the last six seasons, previously losing to the Baltimore Colts in both 1958 and 1959 and the Green Bay Packers in 1961 and 1962. This championship contest in Chicago proved no different as the Bears ultimately defeated the Giants 14-10 on a frigid day where temps never rose above 10º F. Pro Football Hall of Famers listed in this program include: Andy Robustelli, Y.A. Tittle, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, Hugh McElhenny (Giants), Bill George, Mike Ditka, Stan Jones (Bears).

Program cover displays wear to edge of spine and multiple spine tics. Top left corner is just starting to split and top right corner has a bend. Interior pages have some creasing towards center of program but are otherwise clean.
