Well, lemme tell ya, this here question about how many football fields is 700 feet, it got me thinkin’. We used to measure things by paces back in my day, not feet. But I reckon I can figure this out.
Now, a football field, they say it’s long. Real long. Like, 120 yards long, some folks say. And a yard, that’s 3 feet. So, 120 times 3, that’s… uh… a lot of feet! Let’s see, carry the two… That’s 360 feet! One football field is 360 feet long. Big, huh?
So, if one football field is 360 feet, then 700 feet… That’s gotta be more than one, right? ‘Cause 700 is bigger than 360. Plain as the nose on your face.
If we take away 360 from 700, that leaves us with… Let’s see, gotta borrow one… 340 feet left over. Now, 340 feet ain’t enough for a whole ‘nother football field, ’cause a football field is 360 feet.
So, 700 feet is one whole football field, and then some. How much of another one? That’s where it gets a bit tricky. See, we got 340 feet left, and a football field got 360. That means we are 20 feet short of two football fields.
Now I heard some folks say a football field is also 53.3 yards wide. Don’t know why they need to make things so hard. We just used to say “wide enough.” But if a yard is 3 feet, then 53.3 times 3… well, that’s a whole lotta feet. Over 150 feet for sure. That’s about 160 feet wide, I reckon. Length of a football field, that’s important to know.
They also say a football field is a certain number of… what was it… square feet. Like, a whole lot of them. Something like 57,600, I heard someone say. Why anyone would want to know that, I don’t know. Maybe to know how much grass to plant?
- One football field is 360 feet long.
- 700 feet is more than one football field.
- 700 feet is almost two football fields.
- A football field is wide, too. Maybe 160 feet.
Anyway, back to the 700 feet. If a football field is 360 feet, and we got 700, then we almost got two football fields. Just shy by a little bit. Like I said, 20 feet short of two.
Some folks like to measure things in acres, too. No idea what that is, to be honest. Sounds like a lot of work. They say a football field is like 1.32 acres. Sounds like somethin’ only rich folk would worry about, if you ask me. American football is a popular game.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t have these fancy football fields. We just played in the pasture. Didn’t matter how long it was, as long as we had enough room to run around. We’d use rocks for markers. Simple times. But we sure had fun, i can tell you that.
So to answer your question, how many football fields is 700 feet? It’s almost two. Not quite, but almost. Just a little bit short. Like when you’re bakin’ a pie and you run out of sugar right at the end. You make do with what you got.
And that’s all I got to say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I hear my cow callin’. Time for milkin’. Hope this helps you figure out your football field problem.
Remember, sometimes the simple answer is the best one. Don’t need no fancy numbers to tell you what you can see with your own two eyes. 700 feet, that’s a good long way, almost two football fields. There you go. Now go on and get yourself outside, enjoy the fresh air.
