How to say "ballpark" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • 球場きゅうじょうCommon
    nounCovers the literal sense: the baseball stadium or ballpark as an actual place. This is the common word, the one you want when talking about going to a game or where a team plays.
    私は、甲子園こうしえん球場きゅうじょうに行いく。↗
    I go to Koshien stadium.
  • 野球場やきゅうじょう
    nounAlso the literal venue — a baseball field, ground or stadium, with the sport named in full — but a less common word; for 'ballpark' in ordinary use, 球場 is usually the word you want.
    我々われわれの野球場やきゅうじょうは非常ひじょうに狭せまい。↗
    Our baseball diamond is very small.

Both words translate only the literal sense of 'ballpark', the baseball venue itself; 球場 is the common everyday word, 野球場 a less common, more explicit alternative, and neither fits the figurative 'ballpark figure' sense.
