open field
Land without obstacles
An open field is land without trees, buildings, or other obstructions—a broad expanse where you can see across and move freely.
The phrase often emphasizes exposure or vulnerability: The soldiers crossed the open field under enemy fire.
In American football, the open field is the space beyond the line of scrimmage where a runner has room to maneuver: He's dangerous in the open field.
