I don't think theres much useful information in the tape. Often there are several rolls on hand for extra after the field is setup. You may also only use a portion of a roll, etc. With all these variables considered, I don't think you'd be able to pin down any useful information regarding tape on the field.

If we had last years # of tape rolls we would be able to infer some relationship of more/less tape as a basis of more/less lines on the field. However, we don't have that.

The amount of PC is what jumps out to me thus far.
