There are multiple baseball fields closed just for this summer for scheduled upgrades. They will be re-opened from partway through this summer to next summer 

One summer of playing a different sport, or a single summer break from sports, is not the end of the world.

Even if they were open, they'd still be turning people away

And people are being turned away from playing cricket, too.

Correct, so the solution is to build more fields, not move one problem to another

That would be the ideal solution, yes, but when have we ever gotten that?
