The field goal posts are used to determine if a field goal kick is good.  The kicker must kick the ball between the two posts or it is no good.  The orange flags on top measure wind currents.

 

The yards on the field determine whether there is a first down and to keep track of the yardage.  Each first down consists of 10 yards unless there are penalties or the quarterback is sacked behind the line. 

 

The grass on the field can be real or artificial.  In the middle, the grass is painted with an NFL logo.  The touchdowns have the team name that plays at that field.

 

Stadiums are where all the games are played.  The stadium consists of seats, field, scoreboard, and concession stands.  The stadium can be in all different ways, including domed, open on one side, or open all around.

 

The scoreboard is where the score, yard line, down, time left, and which quarter it is.  Some stadiums have special scoreboards, like Pittsburgh.  The scoreboard has two Ketchup bottles and they spill when they reach the red zone.

 

The sidelines are where each team has their benches, players, water, coach and the kicker's net.  Also the "Chain Gang: is on the sidelines.  When a player goes out of bounds then the time stops and they cannot gain anymore yardage.  If a player goes out of bounds without the ball then they cannot tackle or gain possession of the football.
