noodlesnchips Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Blamed the guy he was working under for the field. Basically said the guy didnt have a clue what he was doing and ruined the field. Too much water, not enough sand, not enough sun. He went all in. Went out guns blazing. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/former-nfl-groundskeeper-says-super-bowl-57-field-was-overwatered-had-a-rotten-smell-began-to-decay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And painting the entire field the night before, showed a lot of the defects in the sod. Quote "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc!: "After this, therefore, because of this."

maxwasson Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 In honor of the 2023-24 NFL season kicking off, I have assembled together my first Super Bowl field with colored teamboxes that features my official Super Bowl matchup prediction for Super Bowl LVIII. Super Bowl LVIII - Chiefs vs. Lions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelo18 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 As the 2024 NFL Playoffs begin, let me be the first to hope that we finally get a different looking Super Bowl field design (especially the end zones)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just bring back the conference logos. That's all I ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlog3000 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 All I ask is that it should bring back the endzones like until SB 48 (having the team logo and the conference logo on the sides, and the wordmark font in the middle), or the ones like until SB 39 (having the helmet on one side [but with the current facemask type], the wordmark in the middle, and the conference logo on the other side).

RamosLynn Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It's that time of the year again! The previous endzone design lasted 8 super bowls (XLII-XLIX), so we are due for a new one as this has lasted eight already (50-LVII). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitt6pack Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 I'd say, very good chance nothing changes this year. I think the next opportunity for change may take place with changes in the logo, perhaps for Super Bowl LX? Seems like the NFL is set on this new field template though, but at least it's not all black endzones, like the College Championship. 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitt6pack Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Since it's that time of year again, it's time for some concepts. First, base field And my prediction for the field layout (not teams necessarily) I don't think we will see any changes in the template from the past few years. One prediction I have is the number font. Since the NFL will do a full replacement of the field, I think they will put the standard number font on the field. If we're lucky, they'll use the Raiders number font, and outline the numbers in team colors. If they did use the Raiders number font though, my prediction would be that they would not have the numbers outlined, similar to Super Bowl LII. 3 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for the Raiders number font just to give the field a stronger identity. I love how they've revitalized the actual SB logo recently and pairing that with something as subtle as the home field's usual number font on the field would be a welcome touch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregor630 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Threw together a classic concept for this year. Bringing back a helmet design with modern touches, giving the team boxes some love, team slogans on the border of their respective end zones, and of course conference logos. Not to feed into the conspiracy, but these teams with this logo would easily make for a great field design. 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of team slogans on the endzone sidelines, nice idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have looked better, if they painted the endzones just like teams actual endzones. With just the CFP logos in the center of the field.

pitt6pack Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Down tot he final 4 teams, and the final 4 field possibilities for the Super Bowl (assuming the NFL follows the same field design patterns from the past few seasons). Fortunately, for any matchup we get this year, we will at least have some good colors. Ravens 49ers would look best in my opinion, and works perfectly with the Super Bowl logo, and I'd probably take Chiefs Lions as the second best look. 4 1 Quote The Gridiron Uniform Database Simulation League (GSL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The nice thing about the Ravens shorter height wordmark, it takes up horizontal space. The Lions logo takes up a lot of height and width, and makes the logo look smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all up to NFL Creative and team approval. The 49ers had a helmet last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
