Re: What's up with the quarter practice field

You get what the venue can provide.

In some venues, a handful of teams are are placed in basements. In a couple I can think of, teams are split between 3 different areas, and the practice field is 1/4 field on a loading dock.

It's all about cost and venue size. All the other teams are working under the same limitations. You might consider talking to the FTA about opening up the competition field after practice matches, before opening ceremonies, and during lunch for camera calibration. They are usually very accomodating.
