  1. Yep, the natural grass made the field/logos look pretty good. Hate the SB fields with that field turf crap, the paint looks so washed out so quickly (Seahawks/Broncos, Ravens/49ers). What a novel concept....playing football outside on natural grass!!

    Loved the big shield, and the SB logos look good too.

    Loved the natural sunlight coming into the stadium too. Only issue for me was the endzones.

    Hmmmm, interesting question above about why GB went from yellow to green endzones.

  2. I am starting to lose all faith in the NFL. Really? Why is the Seahawk endzone the same as last year? And with regards to the Patriots endzone: what is this? college football? Who is in charge of the field design? and why do they think this is a good idea? It's probably the same goon who thinks it's a good idea to have a standardized logo every year for the Super Bowl. I mean for God's sake, at the very least, go back to outlining the 50 in red and blue and the 20s in the team colors. There are not enough words to describe my dislike for this field and the fields of the past 4-7 years.

    Agree with all of this.

    I was rooting for GB so damn hard, just because I wanted to see some color in the endzones, LOL. Yes, I'm at that point in my NFL viewing. If my Eagles can't get to the SB, then I'll root for the best colors, haha.

  3. I'll admit seeng it flat, not that terrible..... I hate the Pat's wordmark, but the blank side doesn't bug me that much. As for Seattle, I would've liked a grey endzone for something different, but all in all I;d say it's a 5.5/10.

    When it comes down to it, when watching the game the field isn't as important, its just something nice to look at. The real disappointment from this field is knowing what it could be, and the potential that it has. All the years of great fields should have set a standard for what a Super Bowl field should look like, and now it seems that the NFL just doesn't care anymore. They just want to get the logos on the field and call it a day. No attention to detail, no taking the extra steps to make the field look as great as it could. Just get it done and go home. Of every Super Bowl field I'd say this one ranks either 48th or 49th. That's pretty bad considering that this field is competing for last place with last years field. They did a better job in 1967 when they could hardly afford the paint.

    Agreed. The last two years have just been such laziness. Could have had Denver in orange last year, Seattle in gray. This year could have had NE in red, outlined in blue. Some green can be added to Seattle. Just a shame really.

  4. More endzones, more endzones!!! Please!! LOL

    Can you clarify what you mean? Either way if your talking about current Super Bowl endzones, I'm making fields with the current Super Bowl endzones and the primary logo at midfield for each team. Those fields won't be for this site at all, just for the simulation I have been working on. But all of the endzones will have to be made at some point.

    Sorry for not being more specific. Thank you for everything you've posted so far.

    I was secretly hoping for something like a mismash of odd matchups for the endzones? Like an Eagles vs. Texans, Bengals vs. Lions?

    Or different colors for teams, like a black Steelers, a burgandy Redskins, a yellow Packers...........

  5. Uggggggghhh, Seahawks/Broncos, horrible field, horrible game. I'm glad Seattle won though. And the azzkicking made it even better.

    The craptastic field reminded me of a home Giants game. Both endzones were blue, a small NFL shield at midfield, not much color, no helmets anywhere, just a horrible field that was like pitt posted.............laziness in full display.

    Yes, the weather may have had something to do with it, but this is the billion dollar NFL, not the fricking CFL! You want a game in the cold, outside, in NY, on fieldturf, then prepare accordingly!! Effing azzholes.

    And of course Denver's endzone should have been Orange!!! WTF??!! Who actually makes the decisions on what colors get in there, what wordmarks get in there, what outlines??

    The above posted Orange endzone and Gray endzone would have been awesome.

  6. Yep, that Pitt/GB SB was a slight disaster in terms of the field, IMO.

    Like someone else said, the logos, the endzone colors, the endzone scripts, all looked wet and washed out by the middle of the second quarter. Ugghhh. Lazy. Looked as if they were still dropping paint down on the field on game day.

    Just as bad was the Seattle/Denver SB.

    Great endzones, great colors. For some reason I just love the black outlining of the 'Dolphins' script.

    Would kinda like to see Wash make the SB just to see a maroon endzone.

    It wouldn't be maroon in those days, though. (Probably would be today, but we we'll probably never know lol)

    Yeah, that's what I meant, should have been more clear. In that, I think in today's world, if Wash made the SB, their endzones would be maroon. I realize that in the past they would be yellow because of the contrasting maroon helmets. But since the helmets are not in the zones any more, I just would like to see a maroon endzone paint scheme.

    One can dream. LOL
