General Feedback/Getting Started Questions and Answers [Weekly Thread]

My nephew recently got me into Beyblade and I infected some friends. I grabbed a small $15 stadium but I want something a bit more spacious with more room for bey movement similar to the anime. I don't want something as large as it but do want something larger than what is available commercially.

Anime Example

"Standard" Commercial Stadium, $80 lol

Some really cool stuff I saw online included a wood/plexiglass build. My only concern is how hard plexiglass would be to work with. I've got the nails, glue and clamps for most of the job but never had to heat form something before.

This one is pretty sick. Dad hooked his kids up with a DIY Satellite stadium. I haven't found any dishes on craigslist this week though but I'm keeping my eyes peeled. Seems like it would be the most straight forward approach. Might look for something a tad smaller than this though.

Anyone else here have suggestions as to how to approach this project?

Budget of $100 would be ideal.
