===Principal photography===
The film was shot in Miami, Florida, and [[Irving, Texas|Irving]], Texas.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.misterhabs.com/TV_movie.htm |title=Television & Film Helmets |publisher=Misterhabs.com |access-date=April 9, 2012 |archive-date=July 16, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716140324/http://www.misterhabs.com/TV_movie.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mghelmets.com/movies.html |title=Movie/TV helmets |publisher=Mghelmets.com |access-date=April 9, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714081535/http://mghelmets.com/movies.html |archive-date=July 14, 2011 }}</ref> When the team traveled to California, the stadium that was used is [[Hard Rock Stadium|Pro Player Stadium]], which is located in [[Miami Gardens, Florida|Miami Gardens]]. [[Texas Stadium]] (former home of the [[Dallas Cowboys]]) is used for the home of the fictitious Dallas Knights.

Director Oliver Stone failed to get the [[National Football League]]'s permission to use real NFL team logos and stadiums for the film. As a result, the Sharks play at the [[Miami Orange Bowl]] (which the NFL [[Miami Dolphins]] abandoned after the 1986 season) in the fictional Affiliated Football Franchises of America (AFFA), which is not to be confused with the real [[American Football Association (1979–1982)|AFA]]; the AFFA exists alongside the NFL in this universe, as the Dolphins are mentioned in one scene.

For the scenes during a football game, production asked local schools to participate as extras for the film, including [[Lake Stevens Middle School]] in Miami, for each shot for which the crowd was asked to move around so that each section looked filled. In empty seats, cardboard cutouts were placed in seats with balloons attached to them so that they would seem to be in motion.

Practice scenes were filmed in the ill-fated [[Homestead Sports Complex]], which was built for spring-training baseball; however, the stadium was damaged by [[Hurricane Andrew]] in 1992 and eventually torn down without ever hosting a [[Major League Baseball|Major League]] team.

The film also uses [[Arena Football League]] players, such [[Pat O'Hara]], who played for the [[Tampa Bay Storm]] and coached the [[Orlando Predators]] and became an assistant coach with the [[Tennessee Titans]]. Not to mention, [[Connell Maynor]], who also played for the Predators and spent time as both a player and coach for the [[Philadelphia Soul]]. Meanwhile, [[Bjorn Nittmo]], then with the AFL's [[Buffalo Destroyers]], was the Sharks' placekicker.
