Taildraggers are more difficult to handle on hard surface runways as compared to nosewheel equipped aircraft, particularly with a serious crosswind. If your airport only has one (hard) runway you can be severely limited in moderate winds whereas you would not have a problem at all if your field has multiple soft surface runways, each aligned in a different direction.
