According to NFL.com, the 50-yard line at every NFL stadium will be painted gold this season as part of the league’s “On the Fifty” celebration.

The league has already said it would ditch the standard roman numerals it has used for most of the other Super Bowls, opting to call next year's game Super Bowl 50, instead.

The roman numerals will return for Super Bowl LI in 2017, to be played at NRG Stadium in Houston.
