How big is a fucking football field?
Which type? CFL fields are bigger than NFL fields, and a football/soccer field is the same size as an NFL field or larger
The one where all the players are attached to poles and someone else spins the poles and it makes the players rotate along the y axis so they can kick the ball
Roughly 1.5m Γ .75m based on the last time I saw one in person over a decade ago? So I guess in freedom units that's a full grown Golden Lab not including it's tail by 2-3 footballs
From the article, the garden is about 15,000 square meters. So they're using whichever one is about 5,000 square meters.
So American/NFL rules, apparently. CFL field including endzones is 8152mΒ², NFL is 5350mΒ².

I think they mean normal football. Defer to FIFA
