yards. A solid or shadow-bordered 4-inch-wide line is permissible. A shadow line is
a line that designates the required 4-inch width by use of a border or outline lines,
at least ¼-inch wide which shall lie within the 4-inch width. Shadow lines that are the
natural color of the field of play are permissible. The area within these lines need not
be one color, but the continuous 4-inch-wide outline must be clearly visible to the
officials.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Got a call from a family member who is a volunteer at our local high school. THe school got a huge new stencil that obliterates the 50 yard line. He wanted to know the rule. Knew that I had seen it. Thanks again.

With regard to fields, I worked a game at a school that had just put in a new grass field. AD was proudly showing us his new sprinkler system. Problem was that there were four sprinkler heads encased in a 12 inch diameter circle of concrete that rose an inch or so above the field level. The relationship quickly went south. ANyone have other field problems over the years.
