Depth of the High and Low Goals..limit to # of disks per goal

Has anyone noticed that all of the Goals have very shallow boxes for the discs to fall in. They are somewhere around 4" deep.
The 2 point goals appears that it may be deeper depending on which drawing you look at.

This may not seem important but 4 disks stacked perfectly are about 4" thick
This would mean that there is a limit to the number of disks that can be scored in the high goal (somewhere around 20 or so) before they will start falling out... it may even be a smaller number.
(approximately 4 disks across and 4 thick +/- a disk)

This is also true for the large 1 point goals... shallow box to keep the disks in.

I am looking at the arena drawings and not the team drawings.

In a given game you could score 50 disks possibly...(ok I know that in most games that won't happen. but) If teams attempt to hit the three point goal it is certainly conceivable that it will fill up.

Can someone take a look at this and prove me wrong please???
