Coming this fall. Chain gang will still be on the sidelines as a back up, I assume. 

This is great and all, but it still doesn't fix the real issue. The issue has NEVER been with the chains, it's always been with where the officials spot the ball. Nothing is changing in that regard, officials will still eyeball and hand spot the ball.

I've wondered why they didn't do this years ago.   Nothing worse than having the play slowed down because the dinosaurs manning the chains can't move fast enough to reset the marks.
