So I watch and play rugby, yet Twickenhams Pitch is comparable to the ones I play on as pitch sizes are regulated to be within limits but looks huge when I watch it on the TV.
In: Technology
A lot of things look bigger on TV due to the lack of depth perception and smaller field of view which doesn’t give you a good chance to compare sizes of different things at the same time.
Also, sports fields/stadiums feel like they should be bigger because professional ones are surrounded by a lot of extra structure for seating and infrastructure. It’s pretty common in most large cities for the largest and most noticeable structure in the city to be a sports stadium. The building is big, the stands are big, the advertisements and signs are big, and usually covered in lots of lights and colors. Then I remember that the school yard I played football on when I was 10 years old was exactly the same size as the professional one that seems so massive and overwhelming. It doesn’t quite feel the same, lacking all the surrounding structure.
