dug-out
Players wait here
A dug-out is a rough shelter made by digging into the ground or a hillside, used historically by soldiers in trenches or by settlers on the prairie.
In baseball, the dugout is the sunken bench area where players sit when not on the field.
A dugout canoe is a boat carved from a single log—hollowed out rather than dug down, but the name stuck.
