pitt6pack Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I figured I'd get a head start on the 2020 XFL season fields while I had the time, and put together field templates for all 8 teams. All the templates here are the full size that I work with (9144x4344 pixles : 1px=1/2inch scale). Feel free to use these templates if you'd like, for XFL, or any other field concepts. Dallas - Globe Life Park I had to guess on what the field may look like, since there has never been a football field at Globe Life Park, but typically grass fields are basic. DC - Audi Field Again I had to guess a little bit, so for DC my template mirrors the (Commanders) field, and again is quite basic. Houston - TDECU Stadium The turf in Houston is sewn in, so we can expect lines to show where the professional numbers go on the field, and hashes, similar to Utah in the AAF. Los Angeles - Dignity Health Sports Park Same field the Chargers have been playing on, so the template has been based on that field. New York - MetLife Stadium Based on the sewn in portions of the Giants and Jets stadium, minus the NFL logo at midfield. Seattle - Century Link Field Same field that the Seahawks play on. St. Louis - The Dome at America's Center Based on the last field at the stadium when the Rams were in St. Louis Tampa Bay - Raymond James Stadium Same playing surface as the Buccaneers Let's hope the XFL does a better job with fields than they did in 2001, and can match or top the fields of the AAF. 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindsay Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 This doesn’t feel 100% like a concept thing, but I understand it’s a database. Maybe field concepts before they reveal the real thing? Like, this is what I think it might look like. Quote Im an isles,rangers,devils,Sabres,Yankees,Mets,Braves,hawks,knicks,nets,bills,giants,falcons,and jets fan. So?

Maybe field concepts before they reveal the real thing? Like, this is what I think it might look like. Don't worry, that's where I was headed with this... Time for some concepts prior to the season. Dallas Renegades I based this field off of the Globe Life Park renderings of a Renegades field, but standerdized the markings to a professional field. I also added the XFL logo at the 25s, which are prominent field spots when viewing on TV. I the XFL logo in team colors, as is done on the XFL footballs. This was the rendering of Globe Life Park in a football configuration, as I referred to: Houston Roughnecks Not much to do with this field. The XFL will have to put down professional hash marks over the field, as well as marks to indicate where the numbers would be on a professional field, as was done with Salt Lake in the AAF. Again, I added team color XFL logos at the 25s. Not much can be done with the rest of the field, since the turf is sewn in, and can't be changed.

pitt6pack Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I've done one other concept, this for LA: Given how the XFL has loved putting the LA claws all over their uniforms, it would be fitting that they put them on the field in the endzones. Also, an interesting short shot of what looks like a Tampa Bay Vipers painted field (computer generated of course) during the XFL commercial on Fox during one of the playoff games last weekend: I don't know if we should take this as a possible hint or not. I'd say no, because the media people who make these commercials have nothing to do with the grounds crews. The image from Tampa was taken during a Buccaneers game this season (The NFL 100 logos are still seen on the field!), and there's no way the XFL will fill that many seats. Things of note: that 'V' at midfield is massive, no XFL logos anywhere, and gold endzones for the Vipers (which I'd be okay with given they would be painting the entire endzone). I'd hope for something better than this come game days, and hopefully some designs that can surpass the AAF.

Wackyriderfan14 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Houston’s getting new turf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 This is the new turf field in Dallas. Something of note, which could tell us a bit about the rest of the XFL fields: there is an 'x' at each 2, 5, and 10 yard line, where the XFL 1, 2, and 3 point conversions will take place. Seems like something the league might do for all fields. Another observation: the numbers in Dallas are similar to what we've seen in Seattle, LA Chargers, and Cleveland in the NFL (and I would assume Seattle in the XFL).

TheTalkingBrony Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 There is a twitter post declaring that the Roughnecks are sewing in a field of their own. In other words, they won't be like the Salt Lake Stallions. WOO!!! HOO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Well, the fields are certainly no where near as good as the AAF, or NFL for that matter. Here's DC: I don't have a problem with the endzones too much. It would be nice to see them pained completely, but not many NFL teams fully paint their endzones either. The biggest issues are with the rest of the field. All the fields of the XFL have a similar layout as above. XFL logo at midfield, with the slogan, the three conversion x's, and the markings at the 30 and 35 yard lines used for kickoff/kick-return formations. Then of course, we have ads. The only field so far without the Progressive ads was MetLife Stadium (which is sponsored by another insurance company). From this point on, I may just post the fields in batches, since there's nothing interesting going on with any of them anyways. The first place fields will end up is on the XFL Uniform Database, if anyone want's to track them as I complete them. 2 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Given that the stadium ticket pricing fields on the XFL website were very accurate to what we saw this past weekend: It's safe to say that this is what we can expect for the other four remaining teams, or at least close to it (expect more on-field ads of course). 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Time to get to the XFL fields from this past weekend. Starting with Arlington Glad to see some actual team wordmarks in the endzones for most teams this weekend. Field designs are following the same pattern as the 2020 XFL.

pitt6pack Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 Final, and least exciting field of the weekend, DC Defenders (minus the lemons) The Progressive ads are not on my version of the field here, as the ads seen on the field during the broadcast were digital, and not painted on the field. The likely lack of paint on the field is due to DC United's on-going games at the stadium. It will be interesting to see how the field looks for DC's next home game, after DC United plays the night before. We should see some very clear Soccer lines on the field for the Defenders next home game.

pitt6pack Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Fields from this past weekend. One change I made to my templates (which I will go back and update for last week's fields) is matching the color of the grass/turf as best I could. So you'll notice some darker shades in these fields. Seattle Another field where the Progressive ads where digitally added during the broadcast, but were not actually painted on the field. Vegas Not a good look for the XFL, between the crappy stadium, bad field conditions, and low fan turnout, which got even worse once the rain started coming down. Just some weird things too, like the outlined, but not painted "G" at the goal line, re-sodded patches all over, in seemly no pattern (looks like a truck drove on the field a couple times, causing weird patches), and oddest thing of all, the hash mark at the 3 yard line, which is useless in an XFL game (1pt conversion takes place at the 2). Orlando The Guardians wordmark blended into the turf color a bit much. It would probably look better if the Guardians used their neon green color to give it a little more contrast. Houston The Progressive ad was moved from the 35 yard lines, to the 25 yard lines this week compared to last.
