Pro Bowl
The Pro Bowl is the National Football League's All Star game. The game is the last game of the season. It's officially called the AFC-NFC Pro Bowl. The game has been played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii since February 1980.
A postseason All-Star game between the new league champion and a team of professional all-stars was added to the NFL schedule in 1939. In the first game at Wrigley Field in Los Angeles, California the New York Giants beat a team made up of players from NFL teams and two independent clubs the Los Angeles Bulldogs and the Hollywood Stars. An all-NFL All-Star team provided the opposition over the next four seasons, but the game was cancelled after the 1942 game and season.
The NFL revived the Pro Bowl in January 1951 as a contest between conference all-star teams: American vs National (1951-53), Eastern vs Western (1954-1970), and AFC vs NFC (since 1971). Note the year of the game reflects the calendar year it was played, for example the 2003 Pro Bowl was played in February 2003 following the 2002 NFL season.
