I'm at work so I can't measure mine now.
BUT I put mine in a poster frame from Walmart and it fit almost precisely.
I'm pretty sure it was the Mainstays "Basic" 22 x 34 poster frame.
I thought it was a pretty odd size, being only 2 inches each way from 2ft x 3ft.
The "basic" frame has the least amount of frame, some of their other frames seem like they would be intrusive. It's not a bad deal, you get a Cardboard Backing sheet, an Advertising sheet (roll it over for a blank white sheet for a custom arena), a thin sheet of plex, and four poster frame bits that slide on the sides for under $10. And it has a couple of hangers on the back, so you can hang it up when not in use.
I would stick a bit of packing tape over the hangers to keep them from scratching a dining table.
I'm pretty sure you could stick 2 or 3 arenas in one of these and just swap them around as needed.

Clever! I may have to shamelessly steal this idea...if nothing else, it's a lot more economical than getting a glass shop to cut sheets of plastic.
