Description

Basketball games on aircraft carriers! Baseball at a (very muddy race track)! Multiple iterations of outdoor hockey! Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni review some of the history of sports being played outside their usual settings and look for patterns that explain what makes these unorthodox setups so appealing to the organizers. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
