They should--the field plans really haven't changed much since 2005.

What you're looking at is the field border and alliance stations, with gates etc., but no game-specific elements at all (pyramids, bridges, pegs, minibot towers, bumps, towers, goals...). I would expect the field to show up at its share of PNW district events for the next decade or so, getting a new set of game-specific modifications/elements every year and a rework of parts that need it on an annual basis.

Just for grins... I've torn down enough fields that I could probably put the rails away in their cases without looking at the instructions. Possibly the same for the alliance stations. It's everything else that takes a while and resembles a jigsaw puzzle. (Same for setup of the rails, maybe the stations if there isn't anything silly like a basketball hoop in the middle.)
