How to use 球场

球场 covers any ground where ball games are played, such as a basketball court, a football pitch, or a golf course. You often put the sport in front: 篮球场 (lánqiúchǎng) basketball court, 足球场 (zúqiúchǎng) football pitch. Example: 我们下午去球场打球吧。 (Wǒmen xiàwǔ qù qiúchǎng dǎ qiú ba.) Let's go to the court and play ball this afternoon.

球 (qiú) means ball and 场 (chǎng) means an open place for an activity, so 球场 is simply a ball place. Picture a ball rolling across a big open field.

Common mistake: Learners often read 场 with a second tone as cháng, but in 球场 it is third tone, chǎng, the same as in 机场 (jīchǎng) and 广场 (guǎngchǎng). Also do not confuse 场 with 汤 (tāng, soup), which looks similar but has the water radical on the left.
