Football fields of continental Europe. This is blatant Nordic erasure and I will not stand for it!
Meaning I'm going to sit down because my legs are tired.
edit: also; isn't this effectively a population density map? Wonder how it'd look if this was done per capita (for eg the population administrative unit each field is in)
Here's an attempt to overlay this map with a population density one. It's rough but I couldn't think of a better way to show the info with what's available. Red is still a football field, but now non-football-field land is green. Population density is blue. This means that football field + high density = magenta, no field + high density = cyan, field + low density = red, and no field + low density = green. Reference colours in the Bay of Biscay. It seems like the UK is basically a perfect density map, rural France loves football, eastern Europe in general is less bothered about the sport. I'm quite surprised by how few are in Spain too, given the country's legacy in football
Somewhat related: every football field indicates a settlement. That map makes me kinda sad.
I'm a recreational cyclist and live in central europe. Breathtaking views of nature (cycling along the Scottish north coast and such) can't be had with a football field and/or settlement every few kilometres.
America's influence really is everywhere. What I don't get is how the first 6 listed are not only both so low, but are measured as fractions. How do you have part of a football field?
