Well, I'm fairly sure that a 3D model of the field has to exist somewhere - or at least that's where I'd guess they make 2D drawings from, so why not post up that model as a .STP?

As far as 2D PDF drawings go, I believe they're drawn so that you can build the field, not to find critical dimensions. This could be solved by supplying a supplemental drawing titled 'critical dimensions' that shows all of the dimensions relevant to game play.

But that would probably make too much sense.
