There are several reasons to recheck the field even if a game has just finished.
1. Was there a band on the field marching between the games? if yes then you should check the field and look for broken drum sticks that may be sticking in a way in the grass that it may hurt a player or your self, a lier (item that holds the music) may be on the field and could be follow on.
2. You may find a sprinkler head that may have came up between games. Someones shoe catching it and bending it so it can not go back down.
3. Any sharp item that may have been throw onto the field by the previous fans that are leaving and between games.
It does not take long to take this walk and I have seen or one member of our crew has found something during one of our games during my years of doing the field inspection.
We have even found a coat hanger hook, probably from one of the band members leaving and gathering there items an walking to the bus and crossing the field and dropped it.
