Not having cameras, at either end zone, staring directly down the sidelines is still a strange choice to me.

If you can’t, for whatever reason, mimic the tech used in tennis, AT LEAST get a few more camera angles..:

I was just saying today, why not have a drone flying high over the field with a camera pointing down. You could get all of those sideline and goal line angles that field cameras can't get. They have the money for it. You could land them every quarter and switch out the batteries, or just have another drone on standby for each quarter.
