In any case I think the wood is probably for a rather complicated moving platform (let's call it the puck). Another possibility I thought of is stairs, judging by the quantity of the 2x4's and 2x6's. Maybe there are stairs in addition to the puck? What do you all think?

That's almost like what i was thinking, but then I thought...how much of this wood if for the actual field? and not the goals. I see a return of the puck.
