I have a European soccer question, sort of

Posted by Truman Aug 20 '13, 13:26

Do leagues like laliga have a regulation for the size of the field? Like they all have to be the same?

That's one of the things that makes the MLS seem amateur, or second rate to me, some places have nice fields ( conforming to some sort of regulation size thing) while others play in whatever place they could find, meaning the field could be shorter, or narrower, or both, etc

Responses:

pitches are different sizes gerally speaking smaller in england and bigger in continental europe -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 20, 13:43
actually, there are only a couple of MLS teams that do not play in built-for-soccer stadia, and I can't think of any that have odd pitch sizes because - zork Aug 20, 13:37 2
- I do notice that the corners are really tight when they play in some of the football stadiums - znufrii Aug 20, 13:39 1

Yes, they call it "football". -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 20, 13:31
there's a minimum and a maximum set forth in the Laws of the Game - znufrii Aug 20, 13:28 2
- The "laws"? "What are you in for, Giovanni?" "I painted the lines too wide." "YOU MONSTER!" -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 20, 13:33
- the FIFA rules are as follows - znufrii Aug 20, 13:32
