How big is a football pitch?

[Markymark]

Media measurements include football pitches, tennis courts, double decker buses and jumbo jets. It is helpful as we're all clearly too stupid to understand metric or imperial measurements.

What about American Football pitches? ... i think the size of a plane was on an American doc.

Why does nobody jump double decker busses any more?

I was there when Evil Knievel tried it at Wembley. He bounced off of the top and broke many bones.

They are 100 yards plus end zones

This is a good guide----

​

Pitch dimensions
Find out the size details of a football pitch.

Did you know that not all pitches are the same size?

The length of a pitch must be between 100 yards (90m) and 130 yards (120m) and the width not less than 50 yards (45m) and not more than 100 yards (90m).

So a square pitch is possible?

My daughter and I have a standing joke about things being measured in comparison to:
The Isle of Wight
or
Olympic Swimming Pools

Oooops, forgot the swimming pool........the space shuttles engines empty the equivalent of a swimming pool ever 25 seconds

Things can also be measured by the shed load

Fleet linemarkers do an excellent pocket guide and wall chart of all uk sports markings. I have to hide it from the apprentices though. Football pitches can vary greatly but as shown earlier there is a minimum and maximum.
