Someone suggested checkerboard enzones....I think they should do that but with all of the boxes in the same color. That way you couldn't see the checkboard, but you'd know it was there.

How about pylon cameras or at least a camera straight down the goal line?
Cue Hammer breaking out the camera specifications from 1993 and the drawings for the chips in the pylons

It's OK to not be OK.
Exactly. But most first downs reached during the drive as well. There will be exceptions. We had fouls yesterday on kicks where penalties were enforced half the distance from the end of the kick. One was the 25 and the other was the 1. In both cases we had to start the series between yard lines.
The stat guy uses the next line and it's 1st and 10 regardless. What difference does 12 or 18 inches make at that point? It has drastically improved hand management and most people don't notice. If you see a measurement is usually for PR purposes.

There are times a crew had better measure; an example would be Bubba's ill fated, ill-advised 4 and 2 attempt from their 20 yard line. It was 3 maybe 4 inches short (that's what it looked like from the camera angle); there's no way in hell the line judge or the head linesman could tell if the ball had crossed the line to gain. Hence, the measurement.
The spot itself is not precise to the MM and you are bringing in a chain that was clipped by someone 2-4 yards from the sideline based on a very inexact placement of the back stake. The wing knows which line on the field they have to reach so he makes a determination based on what he sees if the ball reached that line on the field similar to if it was the goal line.
Using the lines on the field are much more accurate than the chain and the clip. What if the stake or clip is 4-6 inches off and gives the offense a first down when they are short or shows them short when they actually reached it?
