What are football hashmarks?

Answer 1

Hash marks are the two rows of lines near the center of the field marked off in one-yard increments. They are 18 feet, 6 inches apart and are located 9 feet, 3 inches on either side of the center of the field. They are lined up with each goal post.

--------------

Assuming you would prefer an actual measurement, in the NFL they are 18½ feet apart. In college they are 40 feet, and in high school they are 53 feet 4 inches.

Answer 3

Hash marks were originally devised to move the spot of the ball away from the sideline. It divided the 33 yards approx. in thirds. Todays hash marks are closer together to allow more movement on both sides of the spot of the ball.

Answer 4

The hash marks serve two purposes. 1) They mark each 1-yard interval on the field. 2) All plays must begin on or between the hash marks. Therefore, if the ball is downed outside the hash marks, the official will spot the ball on the hash mark nearest to where the play ended.
