Why would you want to tromp all over your vegetables and flowers by playing in your garden? Use the lawn in your back yard.
Lol, I meant lawn. I don't have one hah. And here we call it what would be translated into "garden".

You mean the Spanish word for "lawn" translates to "garden"? What is that word?
Also....then...as a non-Akronite I won't disclose to you what a devil strip is.

No it was 100% a guess. I'd never heard of the term until you said it. I just used context clues....

Or, maybe it was in the back of your mind somewhere, and when it was mentioned here it slipped to the front of your mind.
Nevertheless....as noted, it was pretty much exclusively and Akron thing because, aren't you originally from like a Cleveland area suburb? And you say you have never heard of it. So, it was not a Cleveland thing, or Columbus or elsewhere. (however, I do think that someone....here or elsewhere, like on Facebook, said they were from Toledo and that the term was used there some).

No. I mean that when we talk about the lawn we usually call it "jardín", which translates to garden. We simplify it by using that therm, no matter if it has flowers making it an actual garden or not. "lawn" translates to "césped" and is a term we use more specific contexts. For example in football. Like, you know, real football

Correct, Cleveland suburbs. That's why I use tree lawn

Which makes about as much sense sense as utility runs where I grew up meant no trees could be planted there.
Although, come to think of it, in old neighborhoods like Grandma and Grandpa Tour's in Brooklyn, Ohio... there were huge tree-lawn trees busting up sidewalks and busting out curbs...

No. I mean that when we talk about the lawn we usually call it "jardín", which translates to garden. We simplify it by using that therm, no matter if it has flowers making it an actual garden or not. "lawn" translates to "césped" and is a term we use more specific contexts. For example in football. Like, you know, real football

I have never heard the term "lawn" used in regard to either football or soccer. In football it is a "field" in soccer I have seen "pitch" used. (not sure how that particular reference came about). Only time I have heard "lawn" used is in tennis, when they play it on grass, like Wimbledon. I think maybe they use "lawn" in croquet as well.

I know in some areas the "tree lawns" do in fact have trees. Sometimes devil strips can be very wide, others very narrow. Mine is about average, but no trees. Street lamps, yes. And, to me Devil strip is the natural term. Saying tree lawn to me is an un-natural as calling my yard a "garden".

I am talking about the use of the term in the Spanish language, so it makes sense you haven't heard it used in regard to soccer. We use the term to say that the lawn of the field is higher or smaller, wet or dry.

OK, well, for me that seems a bit weird. We would say "the grass" in those instances. As In: "the grass in your front lawn is getting high....you need to get your mower out.
It sounds like for the same sentence you might say "the lawn in your front garden is getting high....you need to put your goat to work"!!!!

That's the way we use the term lawn. We use "césped" which in English would be closer to "grass" than to "lawn".

Interesting that they referred to a "bowling lawn". It must have some reference to the sport we know as bowling once being played in parks on grass. While I don't recall that ever being a thing in my lifetime....there are actually a few towns around America called "Bowling Green".....most notably here in Ohio (you may have heard of Bowling Green University" and Kentucky.....Bowling Green KY actually being where my Dad is from. (and also fyi....where the Corvette is produced).
I actually had a cousin who worked at the plant there.....and he was killed in an industrial accident while on the job.

I never heard of Bowling Green University, but I know the Corvette, so that's interesting. RIP your cousin.

Don't confuse Gipper with facts Woody....
All his stuff is opinionated rubbish....
EVRERYTHING you say about fucking soccer is opinionated Rubbish.
The above is real world. Which he's not living in- at least when it comes to baseball...
The average attendance for baseball game
Not at all the point I was making. But by going to this I realize you're admitting you're wrong in the only way you know how. I'll take it.

Right...your point is no point at all.
Average attendance at 34 soccer games like 21,000. Average baseball attendence for a game where they play 162 games was over 28,000. Both sports actually had declines in attendance in 2019......except Soccer had a bigger percentage of decline. (baseball problem with this decline was primarily attributable to the Miami two Florida market. TB and Miami. It just is not working there for some reason, though you would think it would because of the big Hispanic population)

Yeah- average attendance figures. When back in the suck years, the Indians struggled many times to draw 1,000 fans to a game, unless they gave away nickel beer. Miami should try that.
Your point is when someone presents some facts at how lousy the "former" National pastime is doing, you conveniently change the subject.
I wasn't talking about soccer vis a vis baseball. I'm talking- and Woody backed it up, only a small minority of Americans now consider baseball their favorite spot, and my nursing home comment stands. If the average age of MLB fans is 57, well count my 91 year old Mom in that group. Or you miss it that the under 18 crowd to a large part could care less about baseball?
Just face it Gipper- the interest in baseball is decreasing, and the interest in soccer is increasing.
