Big Guy specifics and number of squares

Ok, I know this is gonna sound like a dumb question, but how many squares does a Big Guy take up on the game board? I know in the old rules it was 4, but i don't see anywhere in the new rules (I'm just now getting into it again after 4 years) how many they take up.

In fact the rules say that they follow "normal" player rules except for the following... etc. etc. Nowhere do I see how many squares.

Of course this would also lead into the size of a Big Guy tackle zone, which is more specific to the issues coming up in games.

Then there is push back rules, and occupied squares, yadda yadda yadda.

Can anyone cite me specific examples in any official medium?

they take up 1 square and work exactly the same as any other player. no special facing, tackle zone, or movement rules. just put em on the board and play em as usual.

They've been taking up one square since 1994. If you were indeed playing Blood Bowl 4 years ago, you should know this.

Just re-base your big guys with the new large roundbases. You can place big guys in the middle of a square now, and they will overlap just a little. You'll have noticced that the new board has larger squares, making one-square Big guys more convenient to more around.
