Discussion about First Down Laser System on NFL Radio

This past weekend, First Down Laser Systems was on an NFL Radio interview. Former USA Today reporter Larry Weisman discusses and answers questions about this innovative invention that can help NFL players avoid injury.

Here a link to the interview on YouTube.

First Down Laser Systems could help save athletes from injuries

NFL games involve more than physical play. From the league standpoint, they're about time and money as well. How do the games fit in the television window, and how can revenues be maximized?

Implementing the Green Laser Line to indicate first downs would provide an earnings opportunity through sponsorships while cutting the length of games.

The Green Laser Line (First Down Laser Systems, LLC) makes the first down line (or line to gain, in NFL parlance) visible on the field to players, coaches, and fans. That group, which creates the stadium experience enjoyed by the television audience, doesn't get the benefit of seeing and utilizing for strategic purposes the yellow line superimposed for viewers at home.

"The two most important lines on the field are the goal line and the first down line and only one of them is clearly marked," says Alan Amron, the laser's developer.

So where do time and money factor in? First, the NFL continues to use the "chain gang" to measure first downs. It's a bit of a cumbersome process, as the field officials call time out and signal for the chains, which then must be brought to the ball, marked for accurate placement, and stretched. Is it dramatic? Not so much anymore. Not with the yellow line making relatively clear on the television side whether or not the ball crossed the plane. Could it be enhanced? The laser system would be faster.

"I think a laser on the field would be a benefit from a player's standpoint, a coach's standpoint, and the fans' standpoint," says Jim Fassel, coach of the United Football League's Las Vegas Locomotives. He witnessed an in-stadium demonstration of the Green Laser Line staged for the UFL two years ago.

Time and money. A sponsorship should be easy enough to sell, and lucrative. NFL teams averaged a little more than 311 first downs each during the 2011 season. Obviously some of those were awarded after measurements and on other occasions the team failed to convert after a measurement. If there were an average of 2.5 measurements a game, the 256 games played during the regular season would offer 640 sponsorship opportunities during which everyone's attention is completely focused.

With NFL teams having voted to begin adding Wi-FI services to their stadiums, fans in-house will often be streaming video to their phones and tablets. Why should they see something on television that they cannot see in the building they've paid handsomely to enter?

How does saving time help? The NFL recently announced it was changing the 4:15 p.m. ET Sunday kickoffs to 4:25 p.m. Games often run long, and the network carrying a doubleheader must switch games. That's no fun for the fans enmeshed in the final moments of the earlier contest. Shaving a few seconds here and there has always been a focus of the NFL's competition committee, which had seen Monday night games running almost 90 seconds longer early last season than they had in 2010.

"In researching the kickoff time shift, the NFL analyzed games for the 2009-11 seasons and found that 44 games required part of the audience to be switched to a mandatory doubleheader game kickoff," the NFL said in a statement. "With a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, that number would have been reduced 66 percent to only 15 games."

The NFL had previously added instant replay review for all plays involving turnovers, which may also slow down play and add interruptions."It possibly could," says Rich McKay, the Atlanta Falcons president and chairman of the league's competition committee. "When you see it, it feels like it could slow the game down because you are taking what could be a challenge and taking it upstairs for confirmation." They try to speed it up, but then they slow it down.

They add technology, but stay rooted in the past where the chains are involved.The Green Laser Line can help. Green means go. It also means more green for the NFL.

Pat Summerall explains the First Down Laser System

Pat Summerall is the premier television voice in pro football.  Mr. Summerall spent ten years as a professional football player in the NFL. After retiring from football, Summerall was hired by CBS Sports in 1962 to work as a color commentator on the network's NFL coverage. For over 40 years, he has been around the game of football and now has teamed up with Alan Amron to continue to make the sport exciting for fans of the game.

In this short video, Mr. Summerall discusses the value of First Down Laser Systems on-field first down marker using a green laser line. Watch the video to learn more about this great new invention. 

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.

Pat Summerall discusses the First Down Laser Flag system

"Hi I'm Pat Summerall for First Down Laser Flag systems - a Thought Development Inc., owned company.

         Pat Summerall, the recognized voice of the NFL & Sports Broadcasting in America.

Football is a game of inches, and winning or losing depends on this.  

Having our first down laser line visible on the field for all the Players, Coaches, Officials and the Fans (both at home and in the stadium) - helps to make the game of football not only more exciting for the fans watching in the stadium, but it helps make it safer for the players and more accurate for the integrity of the game itself.   

We are not suggesting to eliminate the chains, just to augment them with our durable safe first down laser line system on the field.  It will save the NFL, NCAA and the networks literally hundreds of millions of lost TV revenue dollars a year by simply implementing our Laser line system, as a constant visible on the field first down reference point.  The cost of our system can be offset by the advertising dollars, and newly gained TV minutes dollars saved. 

EXAMPLE:  The First Down Laser light line is brought to you by Pepsi Lite.

Completely and instantly controllable on the field, and in the control booth, for instant on and off  (like a light switch) by the officials at any time.

Did you ever go to a football game and inevitably someone would say "were is the yellow first down line?  I can't tell were the first down is."   Well that yellow line is only a graphic on TV for the home viewing audience.  

Invented by Alan Amron, and awarded (4) four United States Patents, this amazing new laser line system will help to make the game of football, not only safer and more accurate, but more interesting to the viewing audience at home as well as in the stadium.”
