MetLife vs. Sofi Stadium Turf

CozySunday : 6/7/2023 11:32 am
Ok, was having a conversation with my 9-year-old (loves the Giants). He sparked this question.

Why can Sofi Stadium pull off having the two team logos interchangeable in the center of the stadium, and we cannot? I hate having the NFL logo in the center.

Does anyone know the reason for this?
I don't know the answer

but I assume that the logos are repainted weekly at SoFi, whereas the NFL logo is part of the MetLife turf. Here's a photo from a Syracuse game at MetLife where the end zones are changed out for Cuse, but the midfield NFL shield remains.

Let's fix the turf first

so it isn't ripping 6 ACLs a year. Then worry about the logo. In the glory days of the Meadowlands, it was a big picture of the state of NJ at the center.

We will find out if it's truly fixed once games start being played.
Midfield Logo

The reason the mid field logo was removed at MetLife Stadium before the opening game in 2010 was due to Dominik Hixon getting injured at a public practice (in the new at the time Metlife Stadium) on the seam for the interchangeable logo. The decided to go with the NFL shield instead.
