Wikipedia

  1. Ballpark

    A ballpark, or baseball park, is a type of sports venue where baseball is played. The playing field is divided into the infield, an area whose dimensions are rigidly defined, and the outfield, where dimensions can vary widely from place to place. A larger ballpark may also be called a baseball stadium because it shares characteristics with other outdoor stadiums.

It is based on the idea of a general area or range, similar to the large and defined space of a baseball field, rather than a specific point. However, it can also commonly refer to a sports stadium, particularly those designed for baseball.
