Uhh, how high is a NFL goal post? Well, let me tell you about the time I was at a game and saw it for the first time. The moment I laid my eyes on the thing, I knew it was gonna require a ladder and then some. The posts were so tall that they seemed like they were reaching up to the heavens! They were nearly twenty-five feet high!
I couldn’t believe my eyes. And since then, I’m always in awe every time I see them. I mean, just imagine standing on a football field that’s one-hundred yards long, and then you see these twenty-five-footers towering at the end. Now that’s intimidating! Making a field goal at that height probably isn’t easy.
You know when you drive past a stadium and you can hear the roar of the crowd from outside? Well, I’m sure it’s much louder right down on the field when the kick is taken and the ball soars sixty yards to reach the top of those posts. The commentator’s voice can’t be heard at that point, and the excitement around the stadium can only be described as electrifying.
The power and accuracy of the kickers is definitely something to marvel at. They spend hours mastering their craft and you can see that their effort is paying off – especially if it results in a successful kick. It’s the drive and passion of these kickers that take them to new heights.
I remember when I saw my favorite kicker make the longest field goal – it was like time had stopped as he made his way to the ball. All the way up to his kick, the crowd was dead silent and then bang! – the roar of approval that followed was amazing. Seeing goals like that reminds me of why I love football.
And then – I can’t forget the kickers who have perfected the artistry of the dropkick. They need to make sure the ball is all lined up perfectly in the middle of the posts. Watching them work their magic is a sight to behold.
Have you ever been to a game and seen the practice running out to the kicker before a play? The way they move in unison to set up the ball and their grip is absolutely mesmerizing. They really exude focus and dedication. One wrong move and they could ruin the entire play.
Ah yeah, I’m always in awe of how high those NFL goal posts are. It takes an extremely accurate and powerful kick to reach the top, and I’m sure you can agree that witnessing such power and skill in a live game is so sweet! Now I’m ready to go catch the next game. You joining?
