Re: Practice field building - Yes I know we are late ;)

We were able to procure the entire SBPLI field carpet two years ago. As stated above the carpet is 15' X 70'+ and HEAVY. You will need a step truck at least that long (15') as it is impossible to consider folding a roll to fit in a smaller truck. We were lucky to have the staff who were loading the field pieces use their fork lift to load the carpet into our truck and we off-loaded it with 16 people lining the sides of the roll.
The way the distribution of the field carpet (two layers-to protect the floor of Hofstra University Gymnasium) has occurred in the past is that on the Saturday of the event an announcement is made and teams come and ask for the carpet or pieces of it and must be prepared to take it then and there at the conclusion of the event. I don't know of an instance when it was spoken for prior to the event itself other than Half Hollow Hills' request several years back when they needed it to run their off season event.
If you have any specific questions regarding the construction of the practice field please PM me and I'd be glad to help you in any way we can.
