"In an NFL game, the home club must have 36 balls for an outdoor game or 24 for an indoor game". Why the difference ? Does this go back to the days when a ball could be kicked right out of the stadium ? Also, the 12 new balls for kicking : are they included in or additional to the total of balls mentioned above ? I.e. is a total of 48 or 36 balls provided in total ?
Also : the Deflategate article states : "In 2006, the rules were altered so that each team uses its own footballs while on offense. Teams rarely handle a football used by the other team except after recovering a fumble or interception". This article needs to cover that if it still applies. How many balls from each team ?

Why isn't the length and circumference given for the ball. One would think this would be basic information...Duh!!! AA Pilot16 ( talk) 15:14, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Other than the second word and the first sentence of the paragraph about "other leagues", this article seems to be completely American. Humphrey Tribble ( talk) 05:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Gridiron ball → American football (ball) – I'm sure all Americans know it as a football. Georgia guy ( talk) 16:13, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
