That's 31,590^3 inches for Frisbee to fall into, and assuming a Frisbee is 11 inches long and wide, and 1.4 inches tall, one Frisbee is ~169^3 inches. 45*169^3=7,623^3 inches.

I could have easily made an error in my calculations, or interpretations of the field drawings, but it seems to me as if 45 Frisbees would fit into the high goal without much issue.
It looks like you're right, thanks.

This idea is looking better and better.
