Welcome to the Miniature Football Coaches Association Forum. Make sure you check out the main page at
www.miniaturefootball.org and visit the league and links pages for more info. There is a Bluegrass League starting in Kentucky and I am sure someone will contact you from that league.
Excalibur makes a nice battery field for at home family game play but the real question is where do you want to go with the hobby? Do you want to compete in a league or just have something fun to do with the family and kids. There are a number of ways to go. If you want to compete eventually, then you shoud at the minimum pick up a older model #620 Tudor field. They were and are the standard for many leagues however there is a trend towards going with larger 2' x 4' fields that are custom made or made by various manufacturers from Buzzball to Footballfigures.net and other various individuals.
For NFL players you either need to get someone to paint them for you or purchase them on ebay. Excalibur is suppose to get some made but nobody has seen these yet.
That should get you started on your first questions. Please feel free to ask questions but also0 make use of the search engine on this site. Just type in some key words like 620 field, custom boards, etc and follow someof the threads that come up. Many of your questions will get answered through the search and will probably lead to more questions.
Enjoy and welcome!
