Few things are more classically American than football, so it’s only appropriate that the namesake of America’s favorite sport would be made somewhere in the country it was founded.
That place is the Wilson Football Factory in Ada, Ohio — a small town, even by small-town standards, where about 6,000 residents live in an area of two square miles. And where every football used in the NFL since 1955 has come from.
Every year, the Super Bowl is the single most-watched television broadcast in America, and the employees of the Wilson Football Factory take satisfaction in knowing that they made the winning ball.
