NEW YORK (AP) -NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the video boards in the new Cowboys Stadium won’t present a significant problem for punters.
After Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the video board at the $1.3 billion facility in Arlington, Texas, on Aug. 21, the league altered its playing rules. The boards hang at 90 feet, which is 5 feet higher than NFL guidelines.
When asked how concerned he was about punters consistently hitting the bottom of the video screens, Goodell responded: “One kick in a preseason game?”
“What’s become clear from research is that up to 85 feet (is a maximum), and that’s our guideline,” he said. “Above that is not supported by our research.”
