Large area measurements don't actually come up all that often for most people in real life so if you say something is 1200 m^2 most people won't have a lot to compare it to. Maybe they remember the area of their house and that will give them some idea (it is around 9 times the area of my house). Most people will have a decent idea of the size of a tennis court. Their school likely had one that they would have seen when taking physical education, even if they never actually played. They also show up in movies and TV shows. Same goes for basketball courts and football fields. They are probably actually better than tennis courts for this because basketball and football are more likely to be televised.
