Well, in my experience, pallets are typically 4x4, stacked ~4-5ft high.

From that, and the per-pallet weights, we could approximate material density, which could give us some insight into what materials the "game-specific" stuff is.

8000 lbs of 1/4" polycarb is 472.3m^2, assuming I did the math correctly. (based on 1.21g/cm^3).

27ft x 1m of polycarb for the alliance walls, times 2 alliances per field times 19 fields is 312.7248m^2, leaves 159.5752m^2 of polycarb.

18" x 54ft sidewalls *2, * 19 = 285.9538m^2 of polycarb. This means that its either not all 1/4" polycarb (anybody know what thickness the walls have been in past?), or I screwed up the math somewhere.
