I see Gordy got stung by all those arguments about the size of a polo
field vs. a football field, so I'd like to weigh in on this topic. I
used to fly with a power club that shared a polo field with the
horsies. Oh, wait--actually it was polo FIELDS. See, you often find
more than one polo field on the same plot of land, though you don't
often see three football fields together. These guys had three polo
fields plus a sizable margin on all four sides. There were A, B and C
teams & they often played at the same time.
The plot of land was at least as large as three football fields, when
the margins around the fields were included. I'm guessing Gordy found
the same situation where he flew. One football field isn't that large
an area to hold a thermal meet, but I can attest that a gaggle of polo
fields is all you'll need for anything other than cross country flying.
