  • International football (or soccer) is played on a field between 300 and 390 feet long. NFL football fields are 360 feet long. CFL football fields are 330 feet long. [Added in response to Billy Boy] It is debatable whether the "field" consists of the end zones. Many people consider the field consists solely of the area where play actually occurs (or gridiron) and that no play occurs in the end zone.
  • You are correct about the NFL field, which is 300 feet between the goal lines plus another 60 feet for the two end zones. However the CFL field is 330 feet between the goal lines, plus another 120 feet for the end zones, for a total of 450 feet.
  • The real answer is this. At my age, 55, it is longer now than ever!
  • The regulation NFL football field is 160 feet wide and 360 feet long
  • 300 feet 1) "In American journalistic parlance, the Football field is a unit of length equal to 100 yards, which is used to give approximate measurements of the sizes of large objects." "Origin: The game of American football, at the college and professional levels, is played on a rectangular field that measures 120 yards along its longest side. Of that 120 yards, 10 yards on each end comprise the end zones; it's the distance between these end zones, 100 yards, that's of greatest interest to the participants." "Observed occurrences as a unit of area: Although the football field usually appears as a unit of length, its area of 5330 square yards (6396 if you include the end zones) is also occasionally used in print for similar effect: Greenpeace: Every Four Seconds, Ten Football Fields of Marine Life Wiped Out by Bottom Trawlers" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_field_%28unit_of_length%29 100 yards are 300 feet. 2) "Football is the name given to a number of different team sports. The most popular of these sports world-wide is association football, also known as soccer. The English language word "football" is also applied to gridiron football (which includes American football and Canadian football), Australian rules football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules, or the games defined by them) is referred to as "football"." "The word "football", when used in reference to a specific game can mean any one of those described above. Because of this, much friendly controversy has occurred over the term football, primarily because it is used in different ways in different parts of the English-speaking world. Most often, the word "football" is used to refer to the code of football that is considered dominant within a particular region. So, effectively, what the word "football" means usually depends on where one says it. The name "soccer" (or "soccer football") was originally a slang abbreviation of association football and is now the prevailing term in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand where other codes of football are dominant. Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, only three (Canada, Samoa and the United States) actually use "soccer" in their organizations' official names, while the rest use football (although the Samoan Federation actually uses both). However, in some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, use of the word "football" by soccer bodies is a recent change and has been controversial. The governing body for Rugby Union in New Zealand changed its name from "New Zealand Rugby Football Union" to "New Zealand Rugby Union" in 2006."

As far as I know, the US is nearly the only country which has still not adopted totally the metric system.
  • 100 yards = 300 feet (not including the end zones)
  • If you include the endzones NFL 360 feet CFL 450 Feet If you dont include the endzones NFL 300 feet CFL 330 feet
