Don't count on that you would have gotten a college to change the goalposts for one game.
The compromise is in the NF rules book. If both teams agree to play on that field then you use the markings present. You never want to start making up rulings like if it hits the upright then it is good. What happens if it hits at the intersection of the upright and the crossbar? That becomes a huge judgement call.
A couple years ago here in Kansas there was a state championship game played on a college field. One team lost by three and had a field goal attempt hit an upright. If this game had been played on a high school field then there would have been overtime. However both teams knew about this problem before the game and agreed to it.
