4. A team scores a touchdown to tie the game as the clock runs out. However, before they can kick the extra point to win, rowdy fans tear down the goalposts. Can the refs move the extra point try to the other end of the field? What if both sets of posts are torn down? Can the refs stand where the goalposts were and judge the kick? Can they move the point try to a practice field?

Why do you even ask that question?

Thanks for the answers, guys. I asked the last question because that very situation occurred years ago in a Princeton-Rutgers game. As I remember, the Rutgers fans tore down the goalposts (both sets), and Princeton was forced to go for 2 but didn't make it, so the game ended in a tie when a kicked point would have won it. (All Rutgers-Princeton games were played at Princeton.)

The "solutions" I offered were those suggested by fans after the game.
