This is the joke. Americans always use football fields for comparison, even when totally inappropriate.

- cthalupa 3y agoAs an American, I have never once in my life used a football field as a size comparison, nor have I heard it used as a size comparison for anything that wasn't roughly football field sized. It might be used more commonly in some places, but I was baffled by the joke as well.
- voisin 3y agoI actually think the stereotype comes not from normal Americans but rather from American journalism. It is in the news and magazines all the time. I am sure Google nGram could support this but I am heading out the door and can’t look it up until later.
