A Battlefield gets the name because there WAS a Battle fought there. Not because someone named it a battlefield so the armies went there.
So two armies come together and a Battle ensues. Before the invention of Tanks (and many other modern weapons) this area would normally be an open area that the two armies could advance and re-treat accross, Comanders could see the enemy and so on, so fields were the favorite setting.
