What are you doing for the flooring?
The flooring is incredibly expensive--we figured out it would cost us almost $1000 to build a practice field.

What are you doing to simulate the low friction environment?

Re: What are you doing for the flooring?
The flooring is commonly used in hotel bathrooms as a cover for walls I believe. Here in vegas many hotels are going up, so if you contact your local general contractor or construction company I'm sure they have pallets of this stuff laying around.

Re: What are you doing for the flooring?
The Home depot material is ~ $25 for 8 sheet around here and our local Menards has something similar for ~ $12 a sheet...

Shop around...

Re: What are you doing for the flooring?
Be careful - even linoleum and formica give more traction than the FRP does... you may be surprised if you don't at least buy one sheet and practice sharting and stopping on it.

Re: What are you doing for the flooring?
So, if teams buy the stuff from HD or Lowes, what is the average cost for a fairly good sized driving portion?
