Now multiply that by a minimum of 12 (I believe the actual number is closer to 17). Maybe a new field gets built.
IIRC, FIRST owns 13 or 14 regional field perimeters and there are 25+ set of electronics and game-specific field elements (I quickly counted 12 district fields). Plus road cases. Plus their development sets at HQ and backups. It adds up.
