An arena may be open-air or inside a large building (for example for playing basketball or ice hockey). 在許多情況下這兩個詞可以通用。stadium通常是露天的，但是一些現代體育場有可以覆蓋比賽場地的頂棚，用於惡劣天氣。arena也許是露天的，也許建在大型建築物内，如籃球或冰球場地。 ■ field [countable ] (especially in compounds or fixed phrases 尤用於構成複合詞或固定短語 ) an area of land used for playing a sport such as football, rugby, cricket or baseball （足球、橄欖球、板球或棒球的）場地 ◆ Today they take the field (= play) against county champions Essex.今天他們上場和郡冠軍隊埃塞克斯隊比賽。 ◆ Players are only reselected if they retain their form on the field (= when playing) .只有在場上保持良好狀態的選手才能再次入選。 ■ ground [countable ] (BrE (often in compounds 常用於構成複合詞 ) an area of land that is used for a particular sport or activity （特定運動或活動的）場地 ◆ The council is spending £30 000 on new equipment for the recreation ground.政務委員會要花3萬英鎊爲公共娛樂場地購置新設施。 NOTE 辨析 Pitch is the main word in British English but is not used in American English.

Ground is used to talk about the area of land where a sport is played, including any buildings or areas where spectators (= people watching the game) sit or stand. In some sports pitch and field have different meanings. For example, in cricket the pitch is a small strip in the middle of the field , where most of the action takes place. 英式英語中主要用pitch，但該詞不用於美式英語。pitch和field均指比賽場地。ground指體育活動場地，包括容納觀衆的建築物或看台。在某些體育運動中，pitch和field詞義不同，如板球運動中pitch（三柱門之間的區域）指field（球場）中間一狹長區域，大部分場上活動在這個區域展開。 ■ ˈplaying field [countable ] a large area of grass, usually with lines marked on it, where people play sports and games （有草地的）運動場，操場 ◆ The school's playing fields offer facilities for tennis, football, hockey and athletics.學校的運動場有網球、足球、曲棍球和田徑等運動設施。 playground ⇨ park ■ park [countable ] (NAmE a piece of land for playing sports, especially baseball 運動場；（尤指）棒球場 ◆ With a mighty swing he hit the ball right out of the park.他用力一揮把球打出了球場。 ■ ballpark ˈbɔːlpɑːk; NAmE ˈbɔːlpɑːrk [countable ] (especially NAmE ) a place where baseball is played 棒球場 ◆ Boston's Fenway Park remains the oldest major-league ballpark in use.波士頓的芬威公園仍然是目前正使用的歷史最悠久的大聯盟棒球場。
