Zhou Xu had initially wanted to make it basketball, since the court would be relatively smaller and it would also be more convenient.
But then he reconsidered. The main group this project would serve was the soldiers in the army.
Most of the soldiers were young and full of vigor. They could only stay in the military districts in their daily lives, unable to move about freely, while their regular training was strict. With their nerves wound tight one by one, it was inevitable that their tempers would grow short over time.
And once they grew irritable, trouble was liable to follow.

In theory, any sport that met those requirements would do.
But considering the large number of people in the military districts, how many could play basketball in one game? Five to a team meant only ten people in a match. Even counting substitutions at halftime, and even doubling that number to twenty, most people still would not get a turn.

However, the football field clearly was not finished yet. The stands around it
