The goal posts must be 18 feet, 6 inches wide and the top face of the crossbar must be 10 feet above the ground. Vertical posts extend at least 30 feet above the crossbar. A ribbon 4 inches by 42 inches long is to be attached to the top of each post. The actual goal is the plane extending indefinitely above the crossbar and between the outer edges of the posts."

NFL rules state the goal post must extend a minimum of 20 feet above the crossbar which is 10 feet above the ground. So the top of the goal post is a minimum of 30 feet above the ground. The goalpost consists of a post, crossbar, and two uprights. The post that holds the uprights is 10 feet tall and placed approximately 80 feet from the sidelines. The crossbar, which is 18 feet, 6 inches in length, sits atop the post. The uprights extend 30 feet above the crossbar
In the NFL, rules state that the uprights must extend for at least 20 feet above the crossbar.
The first rules of American football were devised by folks that ran and played college ball. At a meeting between these colleges in 1876, the crossbar height was set at ten feet. It has not been changed since.
