maybe it's really a quidditch field???

(besides the slope, the trees would add an interesting aspect to a soccer game!!)

There is no so-called "gravity." It's intelligent falling.

PS love the Idea of a tilted playing field, no need for bleachers.

I don't want to be just another "closed-minded gravatist", unconcerned with the mechanics of how angels fly. However, when I saw the photo showing the outline of a soccer field on the hillside, I had an idea that a few obstacles on the playing field (trees, for example) might make the game a little more interesting. Players could hide in the trees and spring out all of a sudden. I have something in mind such as a pinball machine, which has bumpers and holes for the ball to fall into. Without all of the obstacles the game would be less interesting.

There's a great story in Mark Twain's autobiography about a bowling alley (one lane) at a summer "watering hole" where he and another guest spent hours and hours trying to get a ball down the lane successfully due to the bumps, curves, and swells in the lane from years of sitting unused. He claimed the skill involved and pleasure received from it were much greater than simply rolling a ball down perfectly straight, flat lane. He also told about an old torn, bumpy pool table in a saloon in California where the skill required to get balls into the pockets was far greater (and the pleasure therefore enhanced) than if it'd been a perfectly good table. Something to consider...

Yah, boo, chicken!! I was just about to post the photo of Mr Cerne Abbas but you beat me to it. An interesting "snippet" about him (pun intended) is that apparently his ...er..."manhood" has got shorter over the centuries. And I thought that was caused by drinking too much beer!

It's a plaing field for kids with one leg shorter than the other. Unfortunately they can only run in one direction on the field, and the teams are determined by which leg is shorter than the other.
