5 Where to Install the Ground Sleeves and
Goosenecks
Installing the ground sleeves 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 each ground sleeve.
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-800 Series
offset Goal Posts (82-3/8 in for FBGP-500 Series offset) in from the inside
edge of the end zone at each end of the field (Figure 4).
