Depth perception issues are going to prevent that, especially at night.

By the book, as asked in the original question the TRY or FG is no good and should be called as such if officials are positioned under the uprights.
Agreed. But my original point wasn't to ignore the rules -- it was to point out that it's not an easy call even positioned under the uprights. The chance of the officials calling it good, even under the uprights, is greater than zero, I think.
