A portal is a connection between two leaves.

ok and the reason i have so dam many, gaps, overlapping or big map do i need to redisiign its the size of it, i have the map the size of a large football stadium and has very big crowd stands these are the copyed and pasted onto the other side could this be cause my problem.

You have a lot of brushes making splits in the bsp and therefore you have a lot of leaves.

func_detail should help solve most of that. you may want to hint off the larger open space out in the feild area.
