Question on pregame

JugglingReferee · #1 (**permalink**) Fri Mar 06, 2009, 09:57pm

I was doing a college football game 2 season ago and the visiting team brought their band out to lead the way. The band (10r by 20c) marched across the field and I thought they'd pull a 180 at the "upright-to-upright" imaginary half-field line. Nope - straight to the home team's bench area, where they pulled a 180 and marched back into the stands. No penalty, but boy was the home team pissed!

Gotta love college sports.

Do you mean the 50 yard line?

Well, if I was talking about what you might call "mid-field", I would have been referring to the 55-yard line. Around my zip codes, we call the 55 "centre-ice".

The upright-to-upright line is the line perpendicular to centre-ice, and that also cuts the field in half. Google Map Dog River for more help (I'm Cdn).
