Do any other sports have fields with no standardized dimensions?

soccer fields are all slightly different sizes

Golf.

Not a sport.

cricket
football is semi-unstandardised in as much as there are set minimums/maximums but you can do what you like within those limits

yes.
FIFA has a guideline for international pitches, tho

Wtf I had no idea. Are the differences in sizes usually pretty small? I’ve never noticed.

I think baseball does have standardized minimum and maximum distances though, that's why we don't see absolutely stupid stadiums like the Polo Grounds anymore (250 feet to the RF foul pole but 490 feet to dead center). The only really dumb one left is Fenway.

Relatively small but significant enough to affect how teams play. The old White Hart Lane was about a meter narrower than PL guidelines recommend but it was enough to cause a bunch of people to complain.

you could almost have a football pitch be a square (90m in max width and 90m is min length) but i think there's a rule explicitly banning square pitches

different competition will impose more stringent specifications, so for example all premier league pitches are much of a muchness

>Anfield – 100 yards by 74 yards (101m x 68m)
>Emirates Stadium –115 yards by 74 yards (105m x 68m)
>Etihad Stadium – 115 yards by 74 yards (105m x 68m)
>Old Trafford – 116 yards by 76 yards (106m x 69m)
>Stamford Bridge – 112 yards by 73 yards (103m x 67m)

Camp Nou pitch is like 4% larger than the Anfield pitch

There are minimum and maximum sizes. For international matches is 64 to 75 meters wide and 100 to 110 meters long. I remember that some teams used to change the size from one week to the next, depending on the rival. For example, if playing agains a team with good wingers, they shrank the pitch so they would have less space on the wings.

Minnesota United's pitch has 120x75

That's quite interesting. Do they plan the different shapes of the field and wall heights in advance? Is there any advantage to be gained?

Not op, but yes
Teams with smaller parks usually plan on a more offense-heavy roster, because the short field makes for more home runs
Vice versa with big parks and pitching
Also, if you have a shorter right or left field, you may try to acquire more right or left handed power hitters

Certain stadiums have reputations as "pitcher's parks" or "hitter's parks" depending on the dimensions/climate and they can be better for different-handed batters. Yankee Stadium for example is a great place for a team with power-hitting lefties because the right field fence is so close.

oh fuck there are advantages. If you’ve got a hitting team, you don’t want a lot of playable foul territory to avoid foul pops. If you’re a pitching team, you’re gonna want as much playable foul territory as possible for easy outs. If you’re a team that keeps dildos in your batbag like the Yankees, you have really short right fields so you can abuse the DH rule by packing your team with powerbottom lefties who turn east pop flys into homeruns. If you’re a team that respects the wilderness and loves nature like the Cubs (pbut), you put ivy over brick on your wall. Since you play at home, you know the characteristics of how the ball plays off it throughout the year: in the early part of the year there is more bounce since more brick is exposed but as the ivy grows, balls get lost in it real easy and away teams often instinctually try to find it, wasting precious time while the northsiders take an extra bag. The Boston Bean Eaters have Trumps wall in left field. The San Francisco Giants have an angled right field gap and high wall to promote triples.

I know he's not a lefty but Judge literally just hit one to right that couldn't have been more than 320 feet lol

Does anyone else think Fenway and Wrigley are overrated and romanticized too much?

no, just you

The pitch at Old Trafford is smaller than the one at my local (6th tier) club. You can change the dimensions at the beginning of the season to suit your tactics.

Nice projection

Golf is a sport, there's physical activity though minimal, against competition, with measurable scoring
Things that aren't sports have subjective scoring like gymnastics, diving, or any stupid X-Games crap with judges
