Football in 2034

     Thoughts on football of the future:
     No Huddle. No refs on the field. No first down markers and chain gangs.
     Huddles are now almost non-existent. As today, so will speed will be the key and staying ahead of your competition the goal. The players will wear visors fitted into their helmets. Coaches will send plays to the players for execution. There will be no more confusion about the game clock. It will be available to the player on his visor.
     Drones will hoover above the stadium for a myriad of tasks. Drones will film the game. Drones will be able to detect illegal contact or pass interference. Refs will view the game from the press box and press a button when they detect a penalty.
     Stadiums will work harder to get fans to "experience" the game in person, verses in front of a high technical smart TV. Drones will deliver concessions to fans. Imagine ordering a hot dog via your smart phone and it is delivered hot and fresh without getting out of your seat. You will also have the luxury of tapping into a "stadium only" web feed that will give you instant access to the players tracking system. For starters the PTS will measure speed and quickness.
     The game will be played on SmartTurf, adjusting to weather conditions. Yes, technology will certainly play a huge part in football of tomorrow. We want to know everything. Knowledge will increase. It will be like we're on the field with the players.
