sports fields
Where games happen
Sports fields are outdoor areas designed and marked for athletic competition—football fields, soccer fields, baseball fields.
The surface is typically grass or artificial turf, maintained at a specific length.
Field dimensions and markings vary by sport: a soccer field has goal boxes and a center circle; a baseball field has a diamond and outfield.
The sports fields were waterlogged after the storm.
