The only defense will be to form walls of players in the way, so they'll need to narrow the ground to, say 70m wide. But the ball will still be too easy to kick or punch accurately over long distance, so they will need to put some uncertainty into it - get a lighter and larger ball to increase wind effect (like a rugby ball), and maybe even make it round so it swerves (maybe a volleyball). With less distance possible, they can bring the length of the ground down to, say, 120m, and that's it, we will all be on the same page.
Of course, Rugby will be the priority tenant at the only appropriately sized ground, but I'm sure we will be a considerate landlord.
