Not sure I read the rules that way. Do you have a reference for that? Here is the definition of the OUTER WORKS

Quote:
an infinitely tall volume bordered by the GUARDRAIL, the SECRET PASSAGE, and 2 in. white gaffers tape (The OUTER WORKS includes the white gaffers tape, but does not include the GUARDRAIL or SECRET PASSAGE). It consists of a series of five (5) DEFENSES, five (5) PLATFORMS, and five (5) Shields arranged in a line across the FIELD and is designed to impeded the passage of ROBOTS and BOULDERS in to the COURTyARDS
Nothing about that indicates that the open ramp is included in the volume of the OUTER WORKS. Therefore, that space should be in the NEUTRAL ZONE.
