When Super Bowl Tickets Looked Super
When Super Bowl Tickets Looked Super
I'm generally a positive guy, but I can't help wonder why recent Super Bowl Stubs have become such design snoozers. In looking at the run of Super Bowl Stubs, it appears the game reached its design zenith in its first 5 years. Vibrant colors, striking original artwork, everything working in harmony.

Bowl Week: A Look Back
One would think, with the myraid printing techniques employed today, we'd be in a golden age for ticket design. So why do so many tickets today feel so, well, uptight? Mid century bowl tickets reflected the pure joy of the season. Carefree, understanding of sports place in culture, and most of all, visually eye popping. Here's just a few of my favorites. Poke around the site to see 100's more. Enjoy, Russ.
SD Hall of Champions shares its Ticket Library
Deep inside the vault at the San Diego Hall of Champions sat an over stuffed binder, chock full of plastic display sheets, the kind you used to store baseball cards in. The binder housed not cheap pieces of cardboard however, but rather an amazing history of San Diego sporting events told through ticket stubs from the Padres, Chargers, and even the Clippers.
A binder is hardly a fitting way to display these treasures, so the Hall decided to loan TicketStubCollection.com that binder, and have the site act as the de facto stub display for them.
Hall of Champions Curator Anthony LaChica remarked "The San Diego Hall of Champions was pleased to partner with Russ to loan our ticket collection to TicketStubCollection.com. This platform provides a modern way for a wider audience to view these hidden gems, which represent pieces of San Diego's rich sports history."
Highlights of the collection include a run of season passes for the PCL Padres, dating 1937-1966 and a stub from the 1976 Chargers game in Tokyo. Others include both Padres World Series appearances, opening night at the Sports Arena, and even a few San Diego Clippers and Conquistadors.
