Both words are used to talk about the area of land that a game is played on. 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.

For example, in cricket the pitch is a small strip in the middle of the field, where most of the action takes place.英式英语中主要用pitch,但该词不用于美式英语。pitch和field均指比赛场地。ground指体育活动场地,包括容纳观众的建筑物或看台。在某些体育运动中,pitch和field词义不同,如板球运动中pitch(三柱门之间的区域)指field(球场)中间一狭长区域,大部分场上活动在这个区域展开。■ˈplaying field [countable] a large area of grass, usually with lines marked on it, where people play sports and games(有草地的)运动场,操场◆The school's playing fields offer facilities for tennis, football, hockey and athletics.学校的运动场有网球、足球、曲棍球和田径等运动设施。 see also playground ⇨ park■park [countable] (NAmE) a piece of land for playing sports, especially baseball运动场;(尤指)棒球场◆With a mighty swing he hit the ball right out of the park.他用力一挥把球打出了球场。■ballparkˈbɔːlpɑːk; NAmEˈbɔːlpɑːrk [countable] (especially NAmE) a place where baseball is played棒球场◆Boston's Fenway Park remains the oldest major-league ballpark in use.波士顿的芬威公园仍然是目前正使用的历史最悠久的大联盟棒球场。
