How much does it cost to build an indoor lacrosse field?

well if you have the space, you need to line it (if you do it yourself, very cheap, maybe $30). Then you need the nets, so two of them will probably be about $1000. Then you need the score board, if you want a good, large sized one, about $6,000. then you need the stands. If you want this to be like a really good HS field, then expect to spend about $16,000, now if you want an average sized one (or care to hand make a big one out of wood, instead of buying one of metal), then about $10,000 for a small metal one, or about $5,000 for a large wooden one (hand made). Then you may need lighting for night games, if you do go that route, then you're looking at $25,00 for a good set. So all in all, if you want a cheaper, average field, then you're looking at around $15,000-$17,000. Want a good field, around $475,000-$500,000.
