100 inch scale size board breakthrough

[FrankB]

That would take this hobby to an amazing level.

It's the only thing I'm curious about...I believe the board will bend under his own weight. Your frame will have to be very sturdy, and you'll certainly have to find a solution for good balance between levelling and vibration.

The vynil field cover will be expensive, for sure and speaking of the game itself, the defensive strategy will be really hard I guess.

It is an impressive project. I've got a big board, around 45x25", and it 's already big and not so convenient, no matter the big advantages it brings to the game :o

I think its fine to design and build any size field you want and enjoy. I personally wouldn't go over the actual scale as it relates to the average player. This makes the field the size of a McGhee board, which is 68 inches long. Anything over that and you could start playing with real McFarlane figures!

100 inches?! wow that would be amazing to see. That is like the size of a dining room table.

the TDK has plenty of leg to kick on that size... would the TDQ have enough arm? or would you have to go pass placement/ simulation, but it would be fun to try both ways!

Yea, the TDQ does have the arm, I think that a 100 inch board would bring the kicking more to scale, but it would really be tough to pass.
With a 100 inch board I suppose you could do real punts and kicks.

i'm with wolf. 100 inches is WAY too big, and way out of scale. remember, 5mm = 1 foot.

Come on get real!!! Just another reason why its time to set standards for the hobby in regards to scale.

Dre,
In my experience building fields the optimum size is 24x48, I think you're getting way to big going 100 inches. Were running the 48x24 fields with just 1 motor and they run very well, I.E reference Michigan Joe's board he had at the Miggle convention, probably one of the better fields I have played on. I have both a 48x24, and a 39x24, both with 1 motor, and both run really good.

I know it has been covered somewhere , but what would be the actual lifelike dimensions ?
34 x 67 ?
