Wait, what? Your answers are inconclusive. Opinions are like arseholes and time is on my side.It's not opinion, it's a forgone conclusion that time will bear out.
Whoever's idea this was for this advance scout piece should be fired
Not according to Bill Belichick himself it isn't.So using those standards set by the league it would be legal to tape from the press box

I'm just amazed at the lack of judgement by whoever supervises/assigns these bozos. Even if the rules say you only need to get permission from the home team, given NE's history with the NFL and the way NE is treated in the press, the project should have gone well beyond that and gotten permission from both teams and the NFL. And for the same reason you tell them "no filming any sideline". Go get some NFL Films stock footage if you need sideline shots. Just stupid, stupid, stupid.The piece on scouting is absolutely fine and actually a very interesting subject. Certainly more so than equipment managers.
But maybe give the film crew a short rundown of whats allowed in a press box and whats not. Maybe don't film an entire quarter of B-roll that shows the next opponent's sidelines. All of it is preventable if people put enough time and effort into the small details.
Wrong.
Example: The Chiefs are doing it now with their "The Franchise" series.
It's common practice for NFL teams to develop content which provides fans an insider view of the team.
This is the fundamental issue. The incompetence is absolutely mind boggling. Posters here have a much better sense of how to deal with any videotaping scenario the team might undertake. They should hire a fan for advice on this ****, lol.I'm just amazed at the lack of judgement by whoever supervises/assigns these bozos.

Maybe the rules have changed. because back then you could tape the other team on game day but not from the sidelinesNot according to Bill Belichick himself it isn't.
