Abstract

A modular field that includes a plurality of coplanar wall segments connected together by a plurality of stanchions and a plurality of corner stanchions to connect together wall segments oriented perpendicular to each other. The size of the modular field may be varied by the number and/or size of wall segments. Lights may be connected to the corner stanchions. One or more doors to allow ingress into the modular field may be connected to adjacent wall segments by the stanchions. Goals may be connected to wall segments at opposite sides of the modular field by the stanchions. The stanchions may include a base plate, a main support pole connected to the base plate, a channel receptacle connected to the base plate, a rear plate connected to the main support pole, a frame connected to the rear plate, a front plate, and a clamp connected to the main support pole.

Dependent claims

A modular field comprising:

a plurality of wall segments;
a plurality of stanchions, each stanchion of the plurality of stanchions having a base plate, a main support pole connected to the base plate, a channel receptacle connected to the base plate, a rear plate connected to the main support pole, a frame connected to the rear plate, the frame connected to a front plate, and a clamp, the clamp connected to the main support pole and to the frame;
wherein the main support pole extends substantially perpendicular from the base plate;
at least one corner stanchion having a base plate, the base plate having a first channel receptacle and a second channel receptacle, a main support pole connected to the base plate of the at least one corner stanchion, a first rear plate of the at least one corner stanchion connected to the main support pole of the at least one corner stanchion, a second rear plate of the at least one corner stanchion connected to the main support pole of the at least one corner stanchion, a first front plate of the at least one corner stanchion, and a second front plate of the at least one corner stanchion, wherein the main support pole extends substantially perpendicular from the base plate of the at least one corner stanchion;
