  1. That is the truth, I was not very confident with the Play calling by the Falcons on the critical series. A big sack, a really bad time to get a holding penalty, and what was that call on 3rd down? A sideline pattern that was way out of bounds!
  2. Field quality was good to start, but got worse in the second half big time. The reason why the paint started to fade was the stage set for Lady Gaga. The stage tunnel was to the left of the field and all the equipment had to go through the Patriots end zone. I am wondering with the fields, if the "walk through" of both teams and the stage prep the night before did a number on ERG Stadiums' field, and because of the "fiasco" of the Hall of Fame game's markings. DID the NFL go with a new formula of paint?
  3. The only thing about the XFL I remember was the first game in LA where Dwayne "The ROCK" Johnson, was standing at midfield to cut a promo for the leagues start, and the PA system in the stadium did not work for 4 minutes, and he stood there, and stood, and stood. Until they got they got the PA system working. I liked the USFL far better, I miss the Michigan Panthers and the Arizona Wranglers. Two of the better designed uniforms in the league!
  4. I will have to check, but as far as I can recall. This change was every Christmas that particular logo was used on the field. Update. That picture dates back to at least 2005 based on the Officials Uniforms. The last time for that style of uniform was Super Bowl XL in Detroit. as of 2006 the current jerseys for officials where created, and the black pants added permanently in 2012.
  5. Oh well, Change is a commin! The black is gone from the word marks and uniforms! Just Honolulu Blue and Silver once again! Gonna have some fun with the new field design!
  6. I agree, The logo looks a bit bunched in the surrounding field turf area.
  7. Ugh, That Neon green that was used for the Pro Bowl the past couple of years was hideous!
  8. No problem with that. And with the Gridiron Fields Database in operation that is a great place to see all the fields that have been created. And I for one have enjoyed collaborating with @pitt6pack over the past couple of years in creating the templates that many are now viewing for their enjoyment.
  9. Agreed with the normalizing of the colors. If I remember from SB 42 and 49 (both here in Phoenix...actually Glendale, AZ) the NFL grounds crews use the same reds, blues, whites, and ancillary colors when painting the fields. Saves $$$ and actually looks good!
  10. Now this I really like! Very Appropriate for a Super Bowl Field!
  11. I can understand that. I am going "Koo Koo for Coca Puffs" just working on my Lions, Cardinals and SDS fields (Fiesta Bowl and BCS/CFP fields!)
  12. Yea I saw that. Not sure if its new turf, or The Superdome paints in the lines, much like Seattle and New England!
  13. This is the closest to the old fields from the Silverdome era I have seen. I miss the old Lions logo and Conference logos from that era, But this was great to see!
  14. As far as I can tell. This was a customized font created for the Cards. It's based on the font used by ASU in the same time period, but a bolder font.
  15. Yea, the early season field has been existence for a couple of decades. (ever since the current configuration of the Oakland Coliseum was finished at least!)
  16. Thanks, I have seen this time lapse before. The biggest problem in recreating the Original Cardinals fields at SDS, is the custom font used for the end zones. Outside of that I have a good template for the field at SDS, that I can use!
  17. Nice. I remember trying the in baseball season field. Just could not get the radius of the infield correct. (Its a bugger when each stadium's outer dirt radius varies LOL!)
  18. I do anticipate the "NFL SHIELD" to be on the 25 yard lines, at US BANK Stadium. As the Hall of Fame Game field (or what ever was that mess), in Canton, OH, did have them pained in the normal colors, and on the 25's
  19. Arizona Cardinals December 24th, 2005 (Last game at Sun Devil Stadium) Not all that much different from what they would use at the U of P the next year. Exceptions are End Zones are flipped compared to U of P stadium, and no white border around the Cardinal head logo at midfield. The entire midfield had been re-sodded prior to the game, as the grounds keepers where in the process of getting the field ready for the last Fiesta Bowl to be held at Sun Devil Stadium in a little over a week (Ohio State vs Notre Dame January 2nd, 2006)
  20. No problem. Do you need the larger file for Ford Field? I did a couple of updates to accurize it a bit more.
  21. Actually beginning work on the Phoenix (Arizona) Cardinals time at Sun Devil Stadium. There where 4 distinct fields the baseline (with painted over Sun Devil markings) The more detailed (After the Sun Devils season was over), the switch to "Arizona", and the year before the U of P stadium opened (Current Graphics, but at Sun Devil Stadium.
  22. Not a problem. As soon as I finish updating my 1983 Silverdome field (with the patch logo, man it's real bugger drawing the logo by hand in paint) and work on the two other fields (from the late 80's), with the different End Zone set ups (mostly the inversion on the colors of the word ("LIONS") the slightly changed middle helmet logo, and the first inclusion of the "Pontiac Silverdome" to the field. San Diego's field was always an interesting breath of fresh air, though like the old Orange Bowl Stadium, got really worn out by the end of the year. Between the Chargers, San Diego State Aztecs, and the Holiday Bowl (and also recently the Poinsettia Bowl). That is a rough schedule!
  23. Only thing different I would do is to fix the inside oval of the "O" in San Diego. It looks like it follows the interior circumference evenly.
