You can't have a Super Bowl without an Ada-made football
FROM ADA ICON - Dan Reigle, Ada's Wilson football factory plant manager, holds a 2016 Super Bowl football. All footballs used in the NFL and in the Super Bowl are made in Ada.
Reigle said that 54 balls were sent to Carolina and 54 to Denver in prreparation for this year's Super Bowl game.
Balls were created starting Sunday as soon as it was apparent which teams were headed to the Super Bowl. The 108 balls were finished and sent from Ada on Monday.
Four possible team mock-up combinations were ready at Wilson's prior to last Sunday's games as employees awaited the two game outcomes.
This year is the 50th annual Super Bowl. The game between Carolina and Denver is played Sunday, Feb. 7, at Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.
