CBH Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 1975 was the first year pylons were used by all teams in the NFL, but a few were using them in 1974. I believe the only game they were used for in 1973 was the Super Bowl. The first pylons were on a post and inserted in the ground, so that they did not fall over when run into.

I remember being a kid in the early 90s, and after high school football games, I used to would run and dive into the pylons just to see if they would ever fall over.... Nope. Never happened. Those suckers were screwed into the ground! Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnysama Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 ^ No idea. The goalposts are still on the goal line in Canada, for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walby2 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 ^ The goalpost collisions are rare, but on occasion the 13th man on the field will absolutely flatten someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
