        18.5 feet, I always thought it was 16 feet.
        Funny how a bunch of us, me included, know truck loads about the NFL and don't know that answer.

                        NCAAF are the same dimensions as the NFL. High School goalposts are much wider.

                        American Football goal posts were based on the old dimensions for Rugby Union but the rugby ones were changed/standardised about 20 years ago. They were 18'6" but are now 5.60 metres (just over 18'4").

                          Didn't know the answer, but obviously not enough for Cundiff.

                                        Hash Marks:
                                        NFL Hash marks are the narrowest of all the levels of football play. They measure 70 feet, 9 inches from the sidelines and are 18 feet, 6 inches wide. (same as the width of the goal posts)
