The Great 'Eps-krang Field (大愛敬囿) is a sports field primarily intended for Themiclesian football built in 1955. It is located in Qlin-tsung Without District, Kien-k'ang, at 54 – 64 Qwang-lan Ward. The field sits between 5,000 and 8,000 people and was built at a cost of $1,400,000 (1952 figures). It is close, but not adjacent, to the Great 'Eps-krang Temple, which was re-established in Themiclesia following relocation out of Menghe in 542; it was in this temple that football was first played in an organized manner and with clear rules, at the very latest by 1480, and the venue was both funded by patrons who frequented the temple's courtyard serving as a football field and named in its honour.
The Great 'Eps-krang Field is, with the Medium 'Eps-krang Field, Small 'Eps-krang Field, and the Kup Drill Field, one of the four primary Themiclesian football venues located in urban Kien-k'ang.
