Re: Track Ball Inflation?
From the arena manual: "When inflated, each TRACKBALL is approximately 40 inches in diameter, and weighs approximately 10 pounds."

From the KOP manual: Inflate the Trackball so that the zipper appears as in the center photo. (9b) The Trackball on the left is under-inflated (9a), the Trackball on the right is over-inflated (9c). When properly inflated, the zipper will be able to be pulled and closed, not too hard, not too easy.

There are also several instructions relative to looking at the seams and stretching over time.

I would go with the inflation directions relative to taughtness of the cover, not diameter or weight.
