1969 Team Fields

1969 Team Fields

Hey everyone, I had made these field graphics for every team earlier this offseason and had completely forgotten to post them before the season so here you go. I hoped to give each stadium a different feel and there are some little lore bits that I will explain with each team. 

Richardson Stadium - Boston, MA - Capacity: 45,265 - Opened: 1927 - Grass Type: Dark Natural Grass 2
Richardson Stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in the league. So the field design is quite classic with the diagonal stripes in the endzone. The logo at midfield is also something that is new for this season for the team, as they did not have a logo up until this season. The logo is monocoloured as well to stand out on the grass.

Milton Charles Stadium - Buffalo, NY - Capacity: 54,000 - Opened: 1963 - Grass Type: Dark Natural Grass 1
One of the newest stadiums has one of the most vibrant fields. Bright Blue endzone with the team name all over. They also are the only team to use a helmet at midfield. As their current logo is still too detailed to be used at midfield.

Atlantic Stadium - Halifax, NS - Capacity: 34,200 - Opened: 1963 - Grass Type: Worn Yellow Grass
Being a much smaller market and team, the Mariners do have a very simple field design with their Halifax wordmark at midfield, while the “Mariners” wordmark is used at both endzones. The field is also more worn as it is used for much more than just the Mariners, in order for the stadium to make sense to be built in the city is to have it be multi-use.

Victory Stadium - Indianapolis, IN - Capacity: 48,500 - Opened: 1957 - Grass Type: Vibrant Natural Grass
Victory Stadium is one of the best-kept stadiums in the league with the field being very vibrant. They have their new torch logo at midfield, the green is not painted in and just goes over the green of the field. The endzones just feature the Indiana wordmark in orange.  

Western Fair Stadium - London, ON - Capacity: 34,500 - Opened: 1958 - Grass Type: Well-Used Yellow Worn
Western Fair Stadium is another stadium that is used a lot so the field is very worn. In fact, the “Stadium”, which is more of just two large grandstands, is used for many events during the year, mainly fairs which the Stadium is named after. So the design is very barebones, due to being changed a lot during the summer months. 

Long Island Stadium - Hempstead, NY - Capacity: 40,450 - Opened: 1951 - Grass Type: Dark Natural Grass 2
The Raiders are using a one-off design for this season featuring the team’s 50th Anniversary patch at midfield. The endzones do remain the same as usual with the Raiders wordmark and crossed swords on either side.

Thunder Stadium - Louisville, KY - Capacity: 46,250 - Opened: 1958 - Grass Type: Emerald Natural Grass
Thunder Stadium is the only field to have the NAAF logo at midfield. Each endzone features the classic wordmark with the lightning bolt underneath. 

Midgard Stadium - Minneapolis, MN - Capacity: 60,230 - Opened: 1969 - Grass Type: Vibrant Natural Grass
The newest stadium in the league has an interesting layout. The midfield design features the stadium’s name with the braid pattern outlining it. Due to the college season crossing over with the end of the year, the endzones feature the endline for American football which is only 10 yards deep. In the space between the different end lines, the names of both of the stadium’s occupants are placed.

Mount Royal Stadium - Montreal, QC - Capacity: 46,500 - Opened: 1948 - Grass Type: Light Natural Grass
This field is red. Montreal has a very simple overall design with endzones just being solid red and then the team's primary logo is placed at midfield. 

Royals Stadium at Brewer Park - Ottawa, ON - Capacity: 45,210 - Opened: 1955 - Grass Type: Dark Natural Grass
The Royals field is pretty simple, with the old-English wordmark in each endzone. However, the unique feature is the purple square that acts as a backdrop for the midfield logo. 

Riverfront Stadium of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh, PA - Capacity: 48,500 - Opened: 1923 - Grass Type: Well-Used Yellow Grass
Just like Midgard Stadium, the Blacksmiths share their stadium with another team playing American Football. The Pittsburgh Hammers made sure that their field design remains on the field all season long despite not playing during the summer. The Hammers’ “P” is at midfield with each endzone featuring 6 diamonds in each endzone. The field features the same double endline that Midgard has as well.

New Providence Stadium - Providence, RI - Capacity: 65,450 - Opened: 1946 - Grass Type: Faded Natural Grass
The Gold Stars decided that they needed to use every inch of their endzone as they put their entire wordmark stretching from corner to corner. Then, they have their Star logo at midfield.

Anderson Stadium - Toronto, ON - Capacity: 51,220 - Opened: 1948 - Grass Type: Vibrant Natural Grass
The Steelheads made a change to their field with their rebrand last season swapping the team’s original “T” logo with the maple leaf. The rest of the field remained the same with “Toronto'' in each endzone, although the grey has been swapped with white.
