SFCOM1 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 1997 was the year they put new turf down which included a new Meadowlands logo on the 50 yard line. Time stamp approx 4:14 for the updated logo. 1 Quote "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc!: "After this, therefore, because of this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a Jets game in 1996 though, and it looked like the number font had slightly changed. I'd have to take a closer look.

The new ones in '97 were an improvelent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluelarry Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Another one-and -done. They kept those same end zones for 1998 & 1999 though while changing the logo at the 50-yard line. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'll get back to fixing the Giants and Jets fields not too far off from now. Here's an interesting one. Dolphins at Steelers week 12 2007, which was that monsoon 3-0 game on Monday night. First half: Most of the paint had washed off. The Steelers had placed fresh sod ON TOP of the existing field sod the day of the game (so an entire field on top of another entire field; not the best idea), and due to the rain, most of the paint washed out. Second half: Some lines were pained back onto the field at halftime. The hash marks on the sideline were pained orange. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 I was able to get the image to work as a gif: Which opens the possibility of showing the accumulation of now on fields over the course of a game, or the yard markers being cleared of snow. I know @SFCOM1 did the Fog Bowl field, so this could be a good way of showing the fog roll in. I'm going to try that out and update this post if I can get it to look good. *** EDIT *** Fog Bowl gif (credit to @SFCOM1 for the field images) 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's a neat article about the field: https://www.chiefs.com/news/legendary-groundskeeper-george-toma-returns-to-arrowhead-to-paint-the-end-zones- It would be neat to see if the Chiefs updated their field throughout the year based on different eras. This past weekend would cover the 60's. This field was in use from '72-'79, and would represent the 70's: This field was used from '80-'83, and is more of an early '80s era Then the '84-'93 field: And then the design from the mid '90's to late 200's really had little variance: And finally the modern field: In reality, it's probably not realistic to do this many fields, but with the Chiefs schedule, they could probably rotate. The chiefs are home for weeks 5 and 6, and could keep the field from week 3, with their next home game being a Sunday night game. Then they come back home weeks 8 and 9, with week 8 being a Sunday night game as well, and here they could switch to the 70's style field. There remaining home games are weeks 13, 15, and 17, which they could go to the late 80's, early 90's field. Could be a good year for fields in Kansas The 1994 field is when the converted to grass the same field design at the previous but also with the 75th season logo on the 30 yard lines each side's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Field for tonight's game: A very unique field design for the Chargers in their history. Both the retro styled logo, and the classic bolt logo. What seems to be a simplistic sans-serif font used in the endzones. Not sure if this font resembles anything the Chargers have used in the past. The International fields seem to all use the same template when it comes to numbers. Gaps in all the 0s and 4s (Baltimore uses the same number pattern). Interesting that the soccer markings midfield are not centered at midfield like the NFL logo. Beautiful looking field overall. I just moved, so probably won't get this in a digital format for a week or so, but the good thing is with current fields, there's always plenty of pictures and video to see the fields. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that is an incredible picture. If it was not 2 degrees off center, it would make an awesome schematic for us to expand and overlay on ours; to confirm it's accuracy... exactly!
