Status, separately from location
The league keeps two distinct pages: Locations, for where its grounds are, and Field Status, for whether they are playable.
Splitting those is the right call for a competition spread across the District, Maryland and Virginia, where a closure in one jurisdiction says nothing about the other two.
No individual ground is named on the front page.
A High Cheese schedule attaches the ground to each game and pushes a closure into the fixtures it affects, which is both of those pages doing their job at once.
