maur1010 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I like the field, but I would like the NFL to paint outline borders on the numbers and the arrows. Broncos, blue borders on the numbers and orange borders on the arrows; Panthers, black borders on the numbers and sky blue borders on the arrows. The 50 yard line painted gold with a black outline border. Just a thought, but it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also looks like they removed the Broncos logo that they originally had in the teambox and painted a larger one.

martymcfry Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 You had ONE job, Super Bowl crew. ONE job. Just make the endzones blue and orange and we'd all be happy. Seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it's just an oversight or if it could be a hint that the Broncos are lightening their blue next year. The last part is really just wishful thinking on my part.

The NFL only sodded the main part of the field (Including the 3 yard out of bounds border and the 3 yard media restraining lines). Beyond that was the original turf, which was badly discolored and worn. It is a normal policy for the NFL groundskeeper crew. Though at University of Phoenix Stadium last year they replaced the entire field tray. I guess it depends on how bad/different the turf is at the individual sites Edited February 1, 2016 by SFCOM1 Added content Quote "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc!: "After this, therefore, because of this."

Am I the only one posting on this thread who thinks the NFL and the Levi's Stadium grounds crew screwed up by not painting the AFC/NFC conference logos in the teams' end zones? Or was this just part of the end zone design? I really hate the paint job on the Super Bowl 50 field. At least the team logos/wordmarks are aligned properly, but IMO, this is an incomplete field w/o the conference logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, then end zone isn't even painted per this video at the 1:43 mark. Someone screwed up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't look right without them, and the end zones just don't look right with the team names not centered in the middle of the end zones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This field may be more disappointing than the one in New York, if that's possible. There used to be two football games whose field designs were distinguished, where you knew it was for the biggest game at their respective levels: 1) the Super Bowl; and 2) the Rose Bowl. The latter has regressed in my view, but it's still first-class. With rare exceptions, the Super Bowl field hasn't really been the same since the end of the dueling helmets end zone era. There's very little about that field in Santa Clara that distinguishes it as a championship game. It might as well be the field for a Week 2 game in September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people think it's messed up that the Conference logos are not in the end zones.

SFCOM1 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Looking at the "Official" twitter feed from Levi's Stadium. Looks like the Broncos endzone either badly faded, or has been completely re-sodded. Possibly to match the paint color that was used for the Broncos team box. I know the rest of the field did fade and usually two to three coats of paint are used for the Super Bowl. and touch ups happen early on the day of the game.

This was the first Super Bowl that I actually remember watching. I remember how it was a big deal for the Patriots to be introduced as a team, and how emotional a game it was with halftime and everything else. < Super Bowl XXXV First Post Super Bowl XXXVII > Sidelines are mixed up here..

I figured this might end up being the case. Last year I think the endzones looked much darker until game day, so I'm thinking we will see about the same shade of navy this year. The grass in the center of the field was a lot longer, so they will probably re-cut it and re-paint. So I'd expect the blues to be consistent and lighter, including Carolina. I'll have a final pre-game update shortly. I'm not sure if it was this thread or the alternate Super Bowl fields thread where I got requests, maybe both, but I have just been too busy lately to be able to fill them, and I don't know if I will have the time later. I just wanted to say that so it didn't seem like I was ignoring anyone, it's just that I haven't had the time.

pitt6pack Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 A final pregame rendition I added texture to the full field, and lightened both blues. After the game I'm sure I will need to make adjustments, especially in the painting of the Super Bowl logo. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maur1010 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 At a Super Bowl party at my work, I created the Super Bowl 50 field my way. It was the same format, but I did the following: Carolina Panthers:. Sky blue and black stripe on the 20 yard line, black outline borders on the yard line numbers, sky blue borders on the arrows Denver Broncos:. Dark blue and orange stripe on the 20 yard line, dark blue borders on the yard line numbers, orange borders on the arrows I used a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to make the field. As I said many times earlier, it is just a thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
