Electric football has had some big events, but few match the 1996 Miggle Electric Football Convention in Chicago. It’s now called the “second” convention, but at the time it was being labeled the “first.” (The previous year had been the Super Bowl tournament played in Michael Jordan’s restaurant, won by Mark and Bill Klingbeil.)

It was the first event that was planned as a convention and held at a convention venue, the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago. We found some video footage of our tables at the event, and we have to say that even we were surprised by the number of items we had there. It was an event we’ll never forget, that is for sure.

Hopefully this gives a feel for what it was like to be at the first-ever electric football convention!
