If there are no vacant fields on the outskirts of the town, will it be permissible to perform Eid Salaat on a sports field inside the town?

Question

If there are no vacant fields on the outskirts of the town, will it be permissible to perform Eid Salaat on a sports field inside the town?

Answer

If there are no vacant grounds on the outskirts of the town for Eid Salaat, then the Salaat should be performed inside the Musaajid, not on sportsfields. These fields where a host of haraam activities take place do not have precedence over the Musaajid.
