We’ve included a transcript below in case you’d prefer to read Mr. Summerall’s comments.
Hi, I’m Pat Summerall. I’ve teamed up with Alan Amron and First Down Laser Systems, a Thought Development company, to tell you about the very first visible laser line to be projected onto the football field. This green line will be easily seen by all the players, coaches and fans in the stadium and at home.
The green laser will not only make the game more exciting but will improve the integrity of the game and give the players a point of reference on the field making it safer for them to see where the first down line actually is as opposed to looking for the sticks on the sideline - and it will immediately assist the official’s spotting of the ball.
First Down Laser doesn’t want to eliminate the chains just improve them - and the laser is completely controllable on the field and in the booth when needed.
How many times have you watched a football game on TV, seen the yellow line, and wondered “Why can’t everybody see it”?
Well now it’s possible. Plus the hundreds of millions of dollars in additional TV revenue can be achieved in advertising income.
Football is about first downs and touchdowns.
Let’s bring this exciting new technology to America’s game and catapult this great sport into the 21st century.
