I read earlier this month that they would be leaving the goalposts up during the wrestling. Any truth to that? They are simple to put down so I don't see why they wouldn't put them down. It seems like it could obstruct some views for the people behind them.
Goalposts
- Thread starter IAROY
- Start date
Not sure it is that easy to just put them down based on the setup.
They are pretty thin and there will be 3 video boards covering the action. Don't think this will be any kind of problem.
My understanding is that they are going to leave them up and if one wrestler can toss his opponent over the cross bar he will be awarded THREE points! 
In the photo that I have seen from this morning, the goal post is not up. The mat is positioned from essentially the back of the end-zone out to the 10 yd line, from one hash mark to the other. The 2-3 yd line or where they place the ball for extra pt kicks is basically center mat.
Pic on the other thread shows the goalpost up. If they put them down, the tips would go out into the endzone and on/under the mat, so that isn't going to work. I would assume they are staying up.
I guess the pic I saw was not of the greatest angle to actually see if the goal post in the end zone was still up. I would think that would be quite the distraction to have it up for people sitting directly behind it.

I remember someone saying early on that the goal posts would be left up because they want to do as little as possible to interfere with the football team.
They def mentioned in advance the goal posts would be left up. Now maybe they changed their mind but I know early on they were gonna stay in tact.
