Hey Anton!

When I first saw this field, I thought "Oh my goodness, how am I ever going to explain this tomorrow to non-First-ers at our annual Kickoff Dinner"?

Thankfully, one of our volunteers was hard at work at our mini-field out of balsa wood. After I calmed down from being estatic, he told me to find a way to represent the balls.

We also used ping pong balls, and we're using tennis balls for the larger ones. For our versions of the goals, we had to put a bit of wood on top (to attach balsa wood to) with a hole in the center 1 3/4" (or so my people tell me, I didnt drill the holes, and the guy who did kinda estimated), and thankfully the ping-pong balls worked and the tennis balls fit just like the big balls. So thats what we're using.

And anyway, its not going to hurt if its not exact, at least for our team, we only use it for promos.
