Geometry_statistics_in_football
Math is everywhere. We may not realize it, but math shows up all the time at work, at home, and is especially found in the game of football. So much of football requires math! From a pass or kick, to the way players move and how plays are called, they all deal with basic mathematical principles and geometry.
Imagine, just for a minute, the game of football without art and design. Would the game be as interesting without all the colors, the vivid imagery, and the creative design of game-day action? This section answers that question and more by sharing how elements of art and design are interconnected with all aspects of football and how it is celebrated at Levi’s® Stadium.
Advances in technology have dramatically changed the way that football is played and watched. There are many technological inventions that have made managing, playing, observing, and covering the game more efficient, convenient, and faster.
Engineering and design are especially important to the game of football. New technologies are used to help referees make a call, and new equipment is uniquely designed for players to stay safe (but still be fast and efficient). Engineering and design has even changed the way that fans experience the game.
Find out what interesting questions the 49ers have about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics) and the game of football!
From the forces behind a football throw to the focus on Levi's® Stadium's environmental impact, science is present in every facet of 49ers football. In this section, you will explore the physical science behind the game and understand how structures can be designed to be eco-friendly.
