So I don't see you getting more than 3 or 4 at the most. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!
7 tetras will not exceed any restrictions in an arena. Consider last years field: we had a 10' tall bar in the middle and many teams exceeded that by a foot. To get one of the eight shorter goals that high would require 10 tetras to be stacked on it. I am not sure how much taller the center goal is, but I am pretty sure that you should be able to get 7 tetras on it before getting 11' in the air. And the 11' is just based off last years field. I am sure that you are allowed to extend past that (until it becomes a safety hazard). I do however think that 5-6 may be the tallest stack we see.
