Each player on the winning Super Bowl team receives a customized ring that is symbolic of their achievement. These rings are made by the Jostens company and the NFL pays for the rings to be made. The ring above is for last years Super Bowl 50 winning Denver Broncos.
Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday, one of the biggest sporting days in the United States and maybe the world. Here is a little something to get you ready for the game. I will be posting about the big game on my blog all day tomorrow. It’s about the Atlanta Falcons vs. New England Patriots and who will carry home the Vince Lombardi Trophy!
The Atlanta Falcons beat the Green Bay Packers to advance to Super Bowl LI (51) in Houston Texas. Matt Ryan led the “dirty birds” in a really good game! Way to go Falcons!
Win or lose, players in the Super Bowl all receive nice, fat paychecks. But only the winners take home the most coveted prize in football — the Super Bowl Championship Ring.
There is some serious bling to the Super Bowl and I have seen a Super Bowl ring up close and it’s an impressive piece of artwork and craftsmanship. Check out the link above to see how it’s done.
The championship ring of Super Bowl XIII won by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ray Oldham a person I knew from my hometown was on that team.
If you can’t be near a TV but have a great Internet connection you too can watch Super Bowl 50 for free online. I think the bigger the screen the better. Click the link below fore more information.
(From Wikipedia) Levi’s Stadium is designed as an open stadium with a natural grass field. It has a seating capacity of 68,500, expandable to approximately 75,000 to host major events like the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup.
It is also full time home of the San Francisco 49ers, although it’s located in Santa Clara, CA which is 40 miles away which is interesting. The facility is a very high tech facility too with lots of cool things to connect the fans to the game.
