Wilson Football Factory
Superbowl Sunday is just two days away! Get an inside look at how the official NFL Game Ball is made at the Wilson factory in Ada, Ohio.
When you get to the site, you’ll see a brief introduction and a video screen. Click on it to watch a video of proud factory workers constructing NFL Game Balls by hand from genuine leather hides. You’ll witness the process that includes:
- Cutting the cow hide
- Stamping the hide with Wilson insignia
- Turning the balls
- Lockstitching the panels
- Straightening and tightening the laces
This football manufacturing process has been a proud tradition since 1941. Have fun watching the game. I hope your team wins!
