- jedberg 3y agoFunny, I would have looked in the length area, as that's how it's usually used. Part of the problem is that first you have to decide if it's 100 yards or 120 yards.
- KodyBerns99 3y agoI chose 120 yards and added that to length category.
- KodyBerns99 3y agoI just googled it after your comment and the conversion of football field came in terms of acre or hectare so I think Area is suitable. I will see what most people are using and based on that I will set its value.
- cridenour 3y agoI've never heard of anyone comparing to a football field in the Area domain. Of course this is cultural, but at least in the US - the length is what is commonly compared.
- KodyBerns99 3y agoNo problem. I will add in both to make Area and Length users happy!

- wizofaus 3y agoDefinitely country-specific, I'd expect it to be used to describe areas (and football stadiums be used to describe "number of people"). But footy fields in Australia are typically oval shaped! "Olympic swimming pools" can be used for length, area or volume (but "Sydney Harbours" are only used for volume). PS just tried the tool and couldn't find any of the above "units", not even "football fields".
- KodyBerns99 3y agojust added football field to the length. I will look for the units that you have mentioned. If they are widely used, will definitely add them.
- bhandziuk 3y agoI agree that it's most commonly an expression of area. I think the length alternative is valid but pretty rare by comparison.
- digging 3y agoI've never heard it used for area. "Length of x football fields" is the only comparison I've ever heard in the US.
- KodyBerns99 3y agoThanks for feedback. Added football field to the length category.
- glonq 3y agoDon't forget "olympic swimming pools" for volume and "libraries of congress" for data capacity ;)
- lostlogin 3y agoTabloids love this crap. Their units of measure seem to consist of pools, Empire state buildings, double decker busses etc.
- faiD9Eet 3y agosince you are already in the ridiculous area, ehm, soccer fields... German journalists love to compare weights in Jumbo Jets.
