The guys are ok with it, as long as:
1. It doesn't get burned to the ground.
2. It doesn't get torn to shreds in 90 mph winds.
3. It gets put away dry. Does anyone have a big garage\shed it could be hung up to dry prior to rolling it up for storage again?
4. It gets equivalently replaced in the event of 1 or 2. (We got the sections and walls at the Army surplus in Kingston)
I would think the same would apply to anyone else with a tent as well.
We only have pegs for dirt. Not sure how you plan to anchor it to the ice. I guess you could drill holes and freeze the pegs in, then chip them out? We use 3x3 angle iron with heavy long straps on each end and rebar pegs down the sides.
Also think about how many sections you'll need and if you want walls on both ends or just one. The center is 12' feet high and it is 5' high at the walls. One section is 12'wide x8'long, two sections is 12'x16' long, three sections is 24' long and if you really need to, four sections is 32' long. We set it up that long once and played football in there. Usually we set up 2-3 sections. Two sections is about 2'x3'x3' rolled up and likely weighs 50 lbs or better. More than that, it's awkward to carry and a bike rack would be required if you are taking it any distance.
I would consider setting it up the afternoon\night before as well, weather permitting. It usually takes a few hours in total. Also let me know if you want the woodstove or not.
It has windows you can roll up, but you'll probably want lanterns as it's blacker than the inside of a cow in there if you close them. We use propane ones with no problem and hang them from the roof. Usually right in front of the door so when my buddy ducks in to come through, he cracks his head on it
I guess you guys have a table.
I assume of course there will be ice...
