Although I wasn't at DoD, I have seen this field significantly grow since 1999 when parts were first used in the loading dock of Building 5 at NASA GSFC. The carpet is glued to the panels. This works OK and it provides a new challenge for those playing. It is amazing how much slip there is on carpet that is just laid down on the floor compared to carpet that is attached to a backing. I believe the actual carpet is the carpet that was used at the Chesapeake and I think Virgina Regionals. The whole remaining portions of the field (borders, player stations, etc.) are government surplus material for the most part. Then entire field surface fits onto 2 pallets, and the borders and player stations onto 2 additional carts.
Mike, for those of you who don't know, is the guy withe the DeWalt Drill in his hand I i believe Pete is on the floor in the white Crew shirt. All of us here in MD and surrounding areas owe both of these guys a lot since they routinely set's this field up around 2 dozen times a year all along the east coast.
Hope this helps some Ken.
