Pretty much how I figured it was done. 
Most shocking part of that video was the NFL being the only league not to allowing the technology to be used for advertising. Surprised the money hungry cats haven't jumped at that possibility.

this and the LOS line are two of the greatest broadcast innovations, ever.
I remember before the yellow line it was hard to see if a guy got the first down b/c the camera would zoom in and you couldn't see the sideline marker.

Good thread.
First time I went to an NFL game, I hated it quite honestly.
No commentary.
No updates on the field.
Nothing.
It was boring as fukk.
You can't see shyt and its loud as hell.
Yeah..I still go whenever my team comes to town, but my dad and I were just ass watching the whole time.
Paying $200 for an NFL game, you might as well put that towards a new TV.
Most ppl going to Cowboy games just look at the big screen.
That was a smart idea. They gave ppl the comfort of familiarity with the screen and the atmosphere of actually being there.
I need the line....everyone needs the line

yeah the one thing that watching a game is good for is just the energy of being in the crowd especially times when the team is doing good
other than that
to live games..i need instant replay, a close bathroom, and the ability to smoke a blunt in the middle of the game.

I just said I did.

And?
NBA? Loved it.
NFL? They can keep that shyt.
I've been to several NFL games. Not a fan. Even been a VIP booth once with all the trimmings...and we were just watching the game on the TVs there.

nothing you said is different in a non-NFL football game. if you ever played football or been to a high school or college football game, its the same thing
theres no 'commentary (
)' 'updates on the field' and obviously no yellow line.
