This has been the case for 34 years, the last kickoff before 6pm EST was 1991.
Not sure where you got your data from, but it was NOT the case in the 1990s. Here are kickoff times in the time zones they were played in during that decade:
Super Bowl XXIV (1990, Louisiana Superdome) — 3:05 PM CST
Super Bowl XXV (1991, Tampa Stadium) — 3:00 PM EST
Super Bowl XXVI (1992, Metrodome, Minneapolis) — 3:00 PM CST
Super Bowl XXVII (1993, Rose Bowl, Pasadena) — 1:30 PM PST
Super Bowl XXVIII (1994, Georgia Dome, Atlanta) — 3:30 PM EST
Super Bowl XXIX (1995, Joe Robbie Stadium, Miami) — 5:00 PM EST
Super Bowl XXX (1996, Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe) — 3:00 PM MST
Super Bowl XXXI (1997, Louisiana Superdome) — 2:35 PM CST
Super Bowl XXXII (1998, Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego) — 3:35 PM PST
Super Bowl XXXIII (1999, Pro Player Stadium, Miami Gardens) — 4:05 PM EST
Super Bowl XXXIV (2000, Georgia Dome, Atlanta) — 3:30 PM EST

You mean "Big Game" parties?

Super Bowl XIX (19) 49ers vs Dolphins on January 20, 1985 for me. It was also my freshman year of college.
Temperatures were in the teens in BR that day with a little bit of snow and fell to 9 degrees the next morning (second coldest ever at the time).

My parents used to throw them in the '70s. They were very conscientious back then. Even made all the guests put their keys in a fish bowl so they wouldn't drive home drunk. (Fortunately, the guests were all responsible people and just slept over.)

The wives prepared a pot of food, then left, and hung out at one of the other neighbor's houses. The guys drank beer and usually pulled for the Steelers because of Bradshaw.
mid 70s
I went to one of them for Super Bowl XIII on January 21, 1979, when I was in college. It was at one of my best friend's dad's house. The only reason I know it was that year was because Jackie Smith happened.
You can watch it on YouTube.

You sure that was a Super Bowl party?

Super Bowls XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXV, XXVII, and XXXI are the only ones for me.
