Frequently Asked Questions

Football towers provide elevated vantage points and filming locations for coaches to evaluate formations, spacing, and player performance during practice.

Most programs choose a tower between 28 and 52 feet tall, depending on the number of fields and the level of visibility needed. Tower height is measured to the finished floor level, so the actual vantage point of the coach or camera will be approximately 4 to 6 feet higher. A taller tower provides a more complete bird’s-eye view of the field, reducing obstruction from goal posts, players, and equipment. This elevated perspective allows coaches to better evaluate spacing, formations, and overall team performance. Field Towers can help recommend the ideal height based on your facility layout and program goals.

While every facility is unique, most programs choose one of the following proven layouts based on the number and arrangement of their practice fields: Single Football Field Layout https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7d3d23_7fa1b469a4714c48a36afeef9f9ad376~mv2.jpg This configuration includes two end zone towers and one sideline tower, providing complete visibility from multiple angles. It is the most common setup for single-field facilities and supports both live evaluation and filming. • End zone towers feature balconies facing the field • Sideline tower is positioned along one side of the field • Multiple height options available (52’ towers shown) • Allows for future expansion if additional fields are added Side-by-Side Field Layout https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7d3d23_762ac04a323744e5960665b5360ed45e~mv2.jpg This layout includes end zone towers on each field and one shared central sideline tower, allowing both fields to be viewed from a single elevated position. • End zone towers feature balconies facing the field • Shared sideline tower includes a full surround balcony • Provides clear visibility of both fields without relocating equipment • Ideal for college and multi-field practice facilities • Multiple height options available (52’ towers shown) End-Zone-to-End-Zone Field Layout https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7d3d23_61f83fea81fa4a248a9ebcae6abd8cdc~mv2.jpg This configuration features one central end zone tower positioned between two fields, along with dedicated sideline towers for each field, delivering maximum coverage and flexibility. • Central end zone tower includes a full surround balcony • Sideline towers provide dedicated viewing for each field • Allows both fields to be captured from one central vantage point • Ideal for high-level programs with heavy practice schedules • Multiple height options available (52’ towers shown) Field Towers can help design the ideal layout based on your facility, practice structure, and long-term program goals.

Our towers are engineered specifically for your location, which means pricing varies based on your required seismic rating, wind-load rating, height, and any selected options such as roofs or balconies.

It depends upon when you order. Towers ordered in the off-season (November through March) could be delivered in 6-8 weeks. The later in the season, the longer the fabrication time becomes. We deliver first come-first served, based on the date of receipt of the P.O. and submittal approval. We can provide an delivery estimate based on when you order your tower.
