Hey, most of the options on a ModelAdmin control the display of your model, and how you interact with it, in the admin site. What fields you want to show in the table (list_display), how many objects per page (list_per_page) and so on:
ModelAdmin options: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#modeladmin-options Whereas fields options in your Model let you further define your model's specification. You already define what fields your model consists of, and with unique_for_date you add another constraint to your model field. It may be enforced on the admin form level, but I think the only reason for this is, that enforcing it on the database level is actually not possible, or not reasonable - and maybe it will be enforced on the database level some day. Field options on models: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#field-options So think of the ModelAdmin options as a mean to control (mostly) display and interaction with the model, and field options as further constraints to your model. You want your model specification to be in only one place, and that would be in the model itself.
