sports facility

Where teams compete

A sports facility is a venue designed or equipped for athletic activities—stadiums, arenas, gyms, swimming pools, tennis courts, golf courses.

The term appears frequently in planning documents, news coverage, and municipal budgets: The city approved funding for a new sports facility.

It encompasses both massive professional venues and modest community recreation centers.
