Definition
外场 is a place word (p.w.) with two distinct technical meanings. In baseball or cricket, it refers to the outfield — the area beyond the infield. In theater, it refers to the forestage, the part of the stage in front of the curtain. The correct sense depends entirely on the context (sports vs. performance venue).
