New York Times – MADE IN CONNECTICUT

JUST about every piece of field equipment that will be used tonight during the Super Bowl at Reliant Stadium in Houston — the goalposts, sideline markers, first-down chains, pylons, kicking nets and more — was made in the village of Gilman in Bozrah.

Gilman Gear has been an official supplier of equipment for the National Football League for the last 12 seasons.
