Originally I thought the same way, then I saw the pictures posted and the plot started to thicken, I realized there is a conflict. It is possible that the field in Manchester may have had the portcullis mounted the wrong way.

As you can see, the steel tubing is on the Neutral zone side ...

That picture, along with
this picture posted on firstinspires.org of the same field appears to conflict with page 214 of the field drawings.
the field drawing shows that the raised lip and the steel box tube are on the same side, with both facing the opposing team's courtyard.
So now I am left wondering if the field was wrong, or the drawings are wrong, both possibilities are supported by the evidence available on firstinspires.org. Personally, I would trust the field drawings, I think they probably just assembled it incorrectly for the physical field, it was probably the first time it was assembled, so mistakes can happen.
Thoughts? I think a Q&A might be in order, but if I have it all wrong let me know.
