Made in America takes on Super Bowl LII

From the turf to the goal posts, these companies have a hand in Super Bowl LII.

Sportsfield Specialties

The company produces goal posts and other sporting goods, and has been around since 1998. The company employs about 100 people, who weld, shape and paint about 1,000 goal posts a year in Delhi, New York. Sportsfield Specialties also has 50 workers in Salisbury, North Carolina, at its netting and wall-pad manufacturing facility.

This will be the seventh time its goal posts will be in the Super Bowl and the materials for the goal posts come from all over the U.S.

Turf Nation

"All components of a Turf Nation synthetic turf system are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. and each surface is custom-designed to a team's or school's specific needs," Turf Nation said in a news release. "All synthetic turf surfaces are field-tested by an independent laboratory prior to shipping."

Turf Nation employs more than 80 workers around the U.S. and makes its turf system out of the same material used in plastic bottles and garbage bags. Last year, the company produced more than 10 million square feet of turf.

Love Your Melon

And finally, as fans touch down in Minneapolis this week for the big game, 10,000 volunteers will be around town greeting them. Love Your Melon's purple hats will help keep many of them warm.

The company in Minneapolis employs 200 workers, who have collectively stitched more than 1 million hats a year.

"It gives everyone here at home a good sense of pride and the ability to say, 'Hey, I made this,'" production manager Kelsey Nelsen said.

"It's keeping jobs right here in our country and we're just really proud of that," Linsey Johnson said.
