No, I'm just assuming they're up in the same air, and that there's nothing "funny" (insulating) about the ground between them.

And besides, even if it was safe on the field, would it be safe for those near the towers? Such as the stands? Or the parking lot? There would have to be a pretty wide berth around those towers' bases to ensure safety.
That's what I noticed about that field. The stands were inside the ring of light towers. They built them really tall, too, which is good for lighting a game; less chance of looking into the lights when you look up.
