I’m surprised the league approved the design. Any idiot can look at the pictures and think it’s a bit low, then you read that it’s 90 feet above he field and you KNOW it’s low. 90 feet is nothing for any punter trying to hang one on a short field.

Agree. Why the league would allow the board to be 90 feet high when everyone is aware that NFL punts routinely go 100-110 feet high, is beyond me. Just goes to show you that $1.2 billion can’t buy intelligence.

The more I think about it, and the fact that the league did authorize the design, JJ may be maneuvering for the NFL to either pay for the modification in full or share in the meeting the cost. (Somewhere north of 3 mil, btw.) So perhaps he’s not being quite a thick he seems.
