Where to buy a large picnic blanket?

I need a large picnic blanket suitable for 10+ people to sit upon during tennis matches. It doesn't matter if the shape is square or highly rectangular. Since this is going to be placed upon wet grass it is a necessity that it has the "water resistant bottom". I would prefer that both sides were made of the water-resistant fabric, but after doing some research it doesn't seem plausible.

I want something a bit softer than just a tarp, the ground can be very uncomfortable. Target used to sell some good ones, but they were small and aren't sold there anymore.

I can always buy two and sew them together. However, you should assume that I am a very dismal sewer and would be incapable of making my own blanket. My budget is $40.

As for colors, I would prefer red, yellow, black, or grey since these are our school colors, but I suppose I can always cover it with something prettier. Price is the number one priority.

Thank you for your time.

    Get a large tarp the size you want. Now get two blankets to put on top of the tarp. Do not worry about sewing together. The tarp will stop the moisture and the blankets will be the soft.

    I suggest a Neat Sheet. Though it threatens the limit of your price range, we have found it to be a great ground cover for such a thing.

    If you want a softer surface, then put a standard blanket on top of the Neat Sheet.
