playing fields
Where games happen
Playing fields are outdoor areas marked and maintained for sports—soccer pitches, football fields, baseball diamonds.
The phrase often appears figuratively in discussions of fairness: a level playing field means conditions where no competitor has an unfair advantage.
The new regulations aim to level the playing field for small businesses.
