How much do goalposts cost?

seems a lot goes into defending those things at the end of games lately. It's probably more dangerous for the cops and secuity guards that get trampled than the drunks that climb up on them. Seems like it would be better to let the drunks take them down then try some futile attempt to hold them off.

I read somewhere where they suggested electrifying them...kinda like an electric fence. that'd be funny to watch.

 

About $5000

 

Start charging for damages to people involved. People are warned that entering the field is trespassing. Pretty stupid 'tradition' anyway.

 

They should either make them out of iron or nerf.

 

K-State has "unbreakable" ones that cost I believe $10,000 a piece or maybe for the set. They aren't suppose to come down, but I believe in either 1998 or 2000 one came down after we beat Nebraska. The company came to Manhattan to check out how it came down and actually replaced it for free. I'll do some more research on it when I get a chance.

 

probably came up out of the ground after enough pressure's on it. I dunno what kind of idiot it takes to go up and hang on the side posts up top but those guys are pretty vital.

 

State is selling 1-foot sections for $103. Hmmmmm.

 

Here is what I could come up with regarding our goalposts at K-State. Looks like they cost the University $29,000 for the set and that would have been back in 1998. Funny how there wasn't even anyone that attempted to take the goalposts down after we beat them this year.

 

K-State sold pieces of the old turf when we got new stuff before this season. I got a piece with the Powercat stamped on it and then it was attached to a nice plaque with the history of K-State football when that turf was down.

 

Found this article on Yahoo.com about the goalposts as well. Article says it took an hour and a half to take them down, but it really was only 34 minutes.
