That would be hot AF up there during a game.   The heights wouldn't be a. Issue ,  but it would be uncomfortable.

Ultimate rush is being on a wind turbine, sticking you head out is like being a windwalker, trade a catwalk for a belt.

Hard for me to see what the issue is. But then again, I was a green beret who jumped out of airplanes and repelled, as well as parachuted, out of helicopters. And when I returned from Vietnam, I worked as a structural steel Ironworker and walked on beams as narrow as 6 inches wide, 2 to 3 hundred feet off the ground. Only back in those days, we weren't tied off when we moved around. 
I'm 71 now and wouldn't want to do that now. But I sure could still do it, tied off and on that wide walkway this guy has. Just gotta man up. It's no big deal!

I wouldn’t have trouble with the height. But I concure. The heat up there would be next level.

What I forgot to say was, Many people get up and go to work every single day to make a living and feed their families. Several of those people risk their lives at those jobs daily, at a mere pittance of what an NFL player makes. And some, spend their money to watch and participate in NFL football for entertainment.
Just goes to show, we value our entertainment more than the necessities required for survival. We must have it pretty darn good!

@jargomcfargo , you sir, are a bad ass!  Please take that as a compliment, as intended.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be the people directly below me.
