5. Where to Install the Foundation and Goosenecks
Installing the foundation and anchors in the proper location at each end of the field
ensures that the gooseneck, cross bar, and uprights will be positioned according to
high school and college football regulations. By rule, the front edge of the crossbar
should be even with the inside edge (field side) of the end line, such that the crossbars
measure 360 ft apart, inside to inside
1,2 . Follow these steps to locate foundation.
1. From the field layout plan, determine and mark the location of the inside
corners of the playing field including the end zone.
2. From the field layout plan or through consultation with the field contractor
determine the final field elevation.
3. Using the corners as reference points, mark the points exactly 80 feet in
from the inside edge of the sideline and 100-3/8 inches for FBGP 900 Series
Goal Posts (82-3/8 inches for FBGP 400 Series) in from the inside edge
of the end zone at each end of the field (Figure 2)
NOTE: The dimensions provided account for the deflection of the gooseneck under the
weight of the crossbar and uprights.
