This came after owners shook up the rule book by voting to outlaw the controversial ‘hip-drop’ tackle the day prior. Then in 2023, the NFL announced that the returning team would be able to signal for a fair catch to advance to the 25. These alterations – combined with the significant injury risk that the kicking team posed by running at full speed towards the returning team – saw the incentive to return the ball dwindle. Similarly, if the ball goes through and out of the end zone, it will be a touchback to the 30-yard line. “I think it will be a big improvement,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said, according to the league.

The high cost of long linesLong lines for the restroom are what architects call a “friction point,” and, potentially, a costly one. The average price for a Super Bowl ticket is currently hovering around $9,800. So what’s the new science of stadium restrooms? Many theaters, airports and public buildings are famous for long lines around women’s restrooms but none by the men’s.
