World Bowl
 The World Bowl on show during World Bowl XI in Glasgow, Scotland Photo: SPD |
One of the heaviest trophies in professional sports, the World Bowl is a solid glass sphere weighing 41lbs and standing 14 inches high. The sphere, which is an outline of the world, was etched with a high-pressured knife by hand. It was produced by John Morrison, of Cornerstone Glassworks of Dallas, Texas. In comparison, the Vince Lombardi Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Super Bowl, weighs 6.7 pounds
The game is played at a venue decided before the season. World Bowl XI will be played at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the city's first World Bowl. Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Amsterdam have hosted the World Bowl twice while Barcelona, Edinburgh, Montreal and London have all hosted one.
