Field dimensions
Every venue, modelled to the inch
Drill3D ships exact presets for the fields and floors the marching arts perform on. Coordinates live on the field itself, so the same show prints correctly on any of them.
Football fields
Drill is written against the drill hash. Where a stadium paints NFL or NCAA hashes, hosts tape high school hashes for competition and Drill3D writes to those.
| Venue | Painted hash | Drill hash | Front hash from sideline | Between hashes | Surface | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High School Stadium (turf)NFHS hashes 53 ft 4 in from each sideline. The venue for most fall competitions. | HS | HS | 53.33 ft | 53.33 ft | artificial turf | Explore in 3D |
| High School Stadium (natural grass) | HS | HS | 53.33 ft | 53.33 ft | natural grass | Explore in 3D |
| College Stadium (NCAA)NCAA hashes 60 ft from each sideline (40 ft apart). Many BOA regionals and DCI tour stops. | NCAA | NCAA | 60 ft | 40 ft | artificial turf | Explore in 3D |
