The answer is that, yes, a footprint is necessary to avoid damage to the 
tent.  However, a plastic sheet works fine for that.  Before my brother 
replaced his Sierra Designs tent about a month ago and got the footprint that 
goes with it and hooks into the tent, he used a plastic sheet that worked 
very nicely.
