Choose a Tower Layout for Your Football Program
While the possibilities are endless, most programs use one of these set ups:
Single Football Field Layout
This layout features two end-zone towers paired with a single sideline tower, delivering clean, consistent filming angles from multiple viewpoints. It’s the most common setup for single-field stadiums, providing excellent visibility today while allowing for future expansion if additional fields are added.
-
End-zone towers feature balconies on the field side
-
Sideline tower on one side of field
-
Multiple heights available (52’ towers shown).
Side-by-Side Field Layout
This layout features end-zone towers on each field with a shared sideline tower, giving coaches and film crews multiple viewing angles and exceptional capacity. Designed for high-volume programs, it supports views of both fields from a single central tower.
-
End-zone towers feature balconies on the field side
-
Shared sideline tower includes a full surround balcony
-
Provides uninterrupted access to both fields without relocating equipment
-
Multiple heights available (52’ towers shown).
End-Zone-to-End-Zone Field Layout
This layout places a central end-zone tower between two fields, paired with dedicated sideline towers for each field, giving coaches and film crews multiple viewing angles and exceptional capacity. Designed for high-volume programs, it allows both fields to be captured from a single central tower while maintaining full sideline coverage.
-
End-zone towers feature balconies on the field side
-
Shared central end zone tower includes a full surround balcony
-
Provides uninterrupted access to both fields without relocating equipment
-
Multiple heights available (52’ towers shown).
Choose the Right Tower Height for Your Program
Determine the ideal height for coaching, filming, or analyzing plays—based on how you want to see the field.
-
Field perspective is influenced by both tower height and setback distance from the field.
-
Listed tower heights represent the height to the bottom of the top platform.
-
Camera systems are typically mounted approximately 4 feet above the top platform.
-
For example, a 36-foot tower will result in a camera height of approximately 40 feet.
