    the problem with football fields- or any kind of sport’s pitch, for that matter- is that they tend to be dominated and “reserved” for leagues and stuff. which, maybe, is important. but it’s unlikely the people next door get to use it. At least, here. ( I remember the last time I tried to play tennis. the courts were reserved by private instructors until they turned the lights off. there was literally no time from friday night through sunday evening that wasn’t booked solid. and there was zero way to get your name on the reservation cycle without being a coach.)

    without knowing the circumstances behind it, I’m going to shrug and move on.

      This is a village. If there are leagues, they’re amateur leagues. Worst case scenario you can’t play on one day, but you can play probably the next.
