Fifty

50

If you’ve watched any NFL pre-season games, you may (or may not) have noticed that the numerals at the center of the field are gold this year instead of the white that marks all the other yard lines.  That’s because this year’s Super Bowl will be number fifty, and this is one of the ways the league is already promoting the event.

It’s also worth noting that instead of the Roman numerals that have been used for previous Super Bowls, the NFL is using the Arabic 50 for this one.  Someone decided that Super Bowl L just doesn’t have the right amount of zing.
