90: Replacement for 276-5677-035 - 1/2" X 1/2" Lexan Angles

On the competition field, can I replace the 276-5677-035 - 1/2" X 1/2" Lexan Angles with 1/2" x 1/2" aluminum angle. I have 6 fields which are transported in a trailer to multiple events. 5 of these plasitc angles are already broken. I was hoping to use McMaster Carr Part number 8982K54 : https://www.mcmaster.com/#8982K54 - Thanks.

Yes, this is permissible, provided that the modification does not affect gameplay. The specific example you have given would satisfy this constraint.
