Is 28 Gauge Sheet Metal Too Thick?

After getting frustrated with my Miggle board's tempermental motor, I've decided to try my hand at making a custom board. I've found some pre-cut sheet metal in bundles of 5 sheets at 24" x 30" for only $60. As I'm mainly interested in indoor football, I figure I can make a pretty close to scale board with this size. My question though is 28 gauge too thick for the motor?
