What are the “ground rules” if the football hits it during a game? Does the NFL even have ground rules regarding objects having over the field?

I heard that they paid for this stadium by, #1. selling personal seat licenses for the seats, if you wanted season tickets, the PSL was mandatory, and #2, that they were somehow compelling season ticket holders to buy stadium bonds if they wanted season tickets.

Anybody know if that’s how this stadium was paid for?

Geez, a billion dollars plus for a stadium nowadays? Amazing how expensive they are.

The rule is do-over. Bring the ball and the clock back and do it again. Of course the problem with where that thing is is that it’s so likely to be hit on a high punt (like you get often at mid-field) we could see 3 or 4 plays in a row that get a do-over.

Don’t know about your other questions, but when the Titans’ punter hit the screen during the game Friday night, the officials convened briefly and then had the play run over again. Apparently that’s the ground rule.

And they’re still ugly!
