I also used y0 as 0 which would assume the ball is being throw from the field and not from Allen's hand which you could probably call 1.75m which would be around 5 1/2 feet off the ground. So at the apex of flight it would be around 38 yards traveled. kudos. i could not find something like that and i looked. i found a calculus calculator but couldn't figure out how to get the h= formula into it.

I also used googles range calculator http://www.mapdevelopers.com/distance_finder.php and zoomed in on new era to get the approximate range from the ground to behind the top row at the west end. It looks like its about 154 feet. So that is around 50 yards it would need to travel above (I'm going to guess 80ft above ground level) to make it out of the stadium or at least on to the part of the building that is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Goat Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 No. This is the Buffalo Bills we're talking about. It has "torn rotator cuff" written all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the only thing I can think of is maybe if he did it from the tunnel but then you have the suite area/broadcast booths? that is probably around 90ft instead of 80 but the distance it needs to travel is about 5-6 yards less. I know there is a way to figure out the height of the object at a specific time of flight but I haven't found that yet.

MAJOR LAWSUIT It will never and should never happen..... if it does its only asking for a possible regrettable situation False. while unnecessary risks are highly unnecessary and not to be encouraged. You have to throw ball out of stadium 1 time. Also we could get a warning horn Which would be awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's ht = - 16t x vt or something like that. I did enough math today to last me a while so I'll just say that it's plausible that he could do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills1212 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 4 hours ago, eSJayDee said: So he's got to throw the thing 110' up & do so at a considerable distance away? Don't think it can be done. 110' is the apex of a good punt; he might be able to do that (though I'm skeptical), but I doubt he could achieve that hgt at a significant distance. I've (obviously) never been down on the field & it's been a number of years since my last time at the stadium, but I'm roughly guessing maybe 50 yds plus? You do know he can throw farther than 50 yrds, ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I seriously doubt he would ever do that as he would at least be fined and possibly suspended. He does not come across as a dumb kid. I wouldn’t want him to even try due to a possible injury to a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 More likely to break the glass. Also it hit a drunk being thrown out. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspension and hitting a fan (he did once say he could probably kill somebody throwing the football) are probably why he hasn't tried yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Go to 1:59:10 of this video and continue to watch until the end and it may give some an idea just how impossible the task would be. Kelly throws multiple balls up into the stands but it will give you a bit of an idea. Edited January 5, 2019 by Binghamton Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 http://buffalobills.io-media.com/web/index.html From the wall to the end of the stadium, in the endzone, looks to be approximately 55-60 yards.....then, add the height to it. Impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
