My son goes to school at ONU. Never once in 5 years have I seen the factory. Going to have to check it out next time I'm up.

I grew up about 15 mins away and have never been. I know a few people who have/do work there. Always a little excited when I see them on the national scene.

BEen there years ago for work.
One of teh workers said that for the SB they have a stash at the SB, of course, and also a stash at some hotel that is guarded just in case the footballs at the game get jacked the night before.
Used to be able to buy the official super bowl ball over ten years ago for around 40 bucks...now they want more than double.
Took a tour of the Wilson factory while I was going to school at ONU. Pretty cool to see.

Grew up 3 miles from Ada, Step dad taught at Ada high school and probably taught some (most) of those people in that clip. Knew/know some people that work there. One lady I know (now retired) got me Super bowl footballs from the Cowboys games in 93, 94, 96
