Why don't they extend the uprights as high as technology will allow?

That would make fly-overs interesting.

Put a bar across the tops of the upright. Must land in box to get field goal.

if you looked at the yellow line on the left upright (looking from behind the field) it was showing way left of the actual upright

It'd actually be pretty sweet if they added a height limit. It'd increase the variance (I'm guessing on shorter/midrange kicks especially) and encourage teams to go for it more.

I heard him say that if it turns yellow, then the field goal is no good. It was funny though that the overlay was not centered properly.
