...what Electric Coach said
Big boards such as the 24x48 are great (22" wide by 46" long playing surface with one inch sidelines). They open up the game dramatically and allow so much creativity. To me, play on the 620s look like a big scrum in comparison. The big board makes defense much more challenging and offense much more strategic. The number of defenders you put in the box on a big board really matters, whereas the smaller boards such as a superbowl board or even a 620 you will generally get 9 in the box (because everything seems like "the box"- the WR is next to the TE who is next to the o-line). Its just my opinion but I LOVE the big board. Now, I think there is a diminishing return on the size of the boards, and in fact going larger than this is just not very practical. I have no plans of going bigger than 24x48".
FYI- the aspect ratio of this size field is almost dead on too. A real field is 160' wide by 360' long (.44 W/L ratio). The 22x46" has a .48 W/L ratio. A 21.5x46" field has a .45 W/L ratio. I'll take the extra 1/2" of playing surface (one more base width) and choose the 22x46" playing surface.
