Look at it another way: why is wind near buildings and streets warm? A lot of warmth can radiate from streets sidewalks, buildings, etc.
This can raise the temp in a city several degrees over the surrounding area. Its called the "heat island" effect, and in some cities it has caused a significant change in the local weather. (Phoenix is a good example - the desert around the city cools off at night a lot more than the city itself does - that is, the city stays a lot warmer than it would without all the concrete and asphalt.)

Both answers above are good, plus near a field, you'll get a stronger wind because nothing is blocking it.

Because that is where the magnetic fields are. And because the sun rarely shines there. Basically the sun shines on the equator so thats why the poles are cold.

You mean at night and in the morning? Because unlike streets and pavement, fields don't hold the heat of the sun as well.
