Conveniently, a 400m/quarter mile track of a conventional configuration circumscribes an area of roughly the size and shape of a football field :-)
(Plus some buffer area all around, etc).
In many places in Ohio (where I'm from) it's pretty standard for the 400m track to surround the football field and for the stands to do dual use.

- mrguyorama 4y agoIt's also roughly the same size as a high school soccer field so in my town that didn't have football but did have track and soccer, it's still a relatable measurement.
- lamontcg 4y agoI just looked up Google Maps of my old HS and inside the 400m track there are now both football lines + uprights and soccer lines and goals. Those weren't there when I was in HS.
