Tips

usage

外场 contrasts with 内场 (infield / interior area). In sports it means the outfield; in a restaurant it's the dining floor as opposed to the kitchen; more generally, the exterior part of a venue. A separate reading wàicháng exists for the wider world / social sphere - keep them apart by sense.
