Frequently Asked Questions

What is How's the Field?
It's a crowd-sourced directory of youth sports complexes — softball, baseball, soccer, and flag football — with real reports on field condition, bathrooms, concessions, parking, and shade, so you know what to expect before you load the car.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Browsing complexes and reading reviews is free and doesn’t require an account. You need a free account to submit a review.
How do I submit a review?
Search for or open a complex’s page, sign in (or create a free account), and fill out the visit report form. You can rate bathrooms, concessions, shade, parking, water access, and more, plus leave a short note for other parents.
Can I submit a review anonymously?
Yes — there’s an anonymous toggle on the review form. Your display name won’t show next to the review, though it’s still tied to your account internally to help us prevent spam and abuse.
A complex I use isn't listed. Can I add it?
Yes. Coaches can submit a new complex, which goes into a pending queue for admin review before it appears publicly. If you’re not able to submit one yet, email us the name, city, and sport and we’ll add it.
How accurate is the information?
Complex listings start from admin-curated data and are supplemented by crowd-sourced reviews, so accuracy can vary and conditions change over time. Always confirm details like address and field availability with the facility or event organizer before you go.
I found incorrect info — how do I report it?
Email us at support@howsthefield.com with the complex name and what’s wrong, and we’ll take a look.
Do you have an iOS or Android app?
Yes — How's the Field? is available on the App Store for iOS. An Android app may follow. The site also works great in a mobile browser if you'd rather not install anything.
How do I delete my account?
Email support@howsthefield.com from your account email and we’ll delete your account and personal information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Who runs this?
