The quality of the paint and field this year was very good. It looked bright and vivid all game and aside from Greenlaw's unfortunate sideline injury, looks like it held up well compared to last year. Sadly, the game is returning to FieldTurf next year, and type they use at the Superdome always seems to look more faded and greyish than typical FieldTurf, so I hope they can improve that. I will tentatively predict Rams vs Ravens for next season.

If it isn't too much to ask, could you create this field but with the Lions and Browns? It's the best possible matchup of a pair of teams that have never played in the Super Bowl. The NFC is due to be the home team for Super Bowl LVII.

Could someone humor me and do a field with Browns and Lions end zones? It's my most wanted Super Bowl matchup.

I don't know what kind of FieldTurf they use at SoFi, but for whatever reason the paint always looks really vivid and colorful. It's by far the nicest FieldTurf in the NFL, in my opinion. It seems far more lush and full.

To be perfectly honest, I think it's pretty obvious from the very beginning that the Rams' logo and wordmark were meant to compliment each other in this fashion.

You're probably right, so in that case, they need to procure better paint that will bond with the synthetic field better. Even before field use, the last few synthetic turf Super Bowls had fields that looked washed out and as if the colors were already running.

Here's what gets me. Considering these sorts of fields are synthetic anyway, would it perhaps make more sense to actually have the field itself pre-colored at the plant? They could install the field in jigsaw like fashion, the colors wouldn't run, then they could probably recycle or donate the patches once the game is over. I think that's what they do at MetLife, because the end zones always look like they're full of barely noticeable squares, while the rest of the field stays static. Then again, painting is probably more cost effective, but whatever paint they're using, it does not bond well at all with artificial turf.

The field started looking like crap as the game went on. I don't know if it's the paint they're using or what, but I've never seen a big game field deteriorate like that. I mean, there have been plenty of college bowl game fields that have looked good through the whole game. Just total amateur hour here. From a non-aesthetic POV, the field quality was poor. Guys were slipping the entire game and I think Dion Lewis suffered a pretty bad injury on the trick play at the end of regulation. And it was supposed to be FieldTurf, or somesuch, too. No excuse. Last years field was bad too. I feel like they're trying to get this painted and prepped at the very last minute.
