Definition
入场 (rù chǎng) is a verb meaning 'to enter a venue' — it is used specifically for entering a place where an event is held (stadium, exam hall, theater). Unlike the general verb 进入 (jìn rù 'to enter, go into'), 入场 implies entering a designated event space, often with a ticket or permission. It is not used for entering a country (that's 入境) or for entering a building like a shop.
verb
