I didn't really have a good way to do this, but here's what I did:

I placed the goal on it's side, on top of two stacked 4x4 boards. I got the goal to balance on the boards. Then, I measured the distance from the bottom edge of the casters (where the floor would be) and the center of the balance point.

And that distance was 24".

Your mileage may vary.
