A football field is either 56 or 66 yards wide.

Well, actually, a football field is 55 yards wide. Depending on how you count the end zones, it can be 120 yards long. That's 59,400 square feet per football field.

The total comes to a little more than 13 football fields. If you don't include the end zones in the length, each football field is 49,500 square feet, and the total comes to 16 football fields.

Duke, Re: "I don't wish to demean your prodigious effort, but a football field is (100yds) or 300' x 110 feet or 33k square feet or ~3/4 of an acre. .8MM square feet is approximately 18.97 acres. (Assuming 42k square feet in an acre.) ...Or approximately 24.242 football feilds. :)"

Actually, that was a direct quote. I didn't even think about the conversion until you mentioned it.
