also the sun might get in the sight of the camera. or it could cause issues with teams that use goal tracking, etc. But i could see why it would be a cool idea.

As someone who's practice field is outdoors... it not only causes problems with tracking but the heat down here actually made our camera stop working until it cooled down (it was over 80 and we were out in the sun for about an hour cycling our shooter)

Wind is also a huge issue, it concealed consistency issues with our shooter that we didn't discover until Orlando.
