The Size of an NFL Football Field
The size of an NFL football field has been standardized since 1909. The playing field must be 100 yards long between the end zones, and 53.3 yards wide. The field can be any shape, as long as it meets these requirements.
The playing field
An NFL football field is 160 feet wide and 360 feet long. The playing field is 100 yards long, with a 10-yard-long end zone on each side.
The end zones
An NFL football field is 100 yards long, with two 10-yard end zones. The playing field itself is only 80 yards long. The extra 10 yards at each end of the field are used for the End Zone.
The Dimensions of an NFL Football Field
The playing field for an NFL game is 100 yards long between the end zones, with a width of 53.3 yards. The end zones are 10 yards deep. There are two lines drawn at each end of the field, running from each sideline to the back of each end zone.
The width of the field
The playing field of American football is typically 120 yards (110 m) long and 53.3 yards (48.6 m) wide, for a total size of 63,360 square yards (58,060 m2), with there being 10 yards (9.1 m) from the end zone to the goal line on each side. These dimensions have applied since the early days of the sport and are still in use by high schools and college football teams throughout the United States. However, variations on these dimensions are seen at other levels of football:

The Area of an NFL Football Field
The playing field
An NFL football field is 100 yards long from end zone to end zone, with a 10-yard-long end zone on each side. Between the two end zones is the field of play, which is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. The area of an NFL football field (not including the end zones) is 57,600 square feet, or about one and one-third acres.
The end zones
Each end zone is 10 yards deep. So, if you add the depth of an end zone to the 100 yards of the field, you get 120 yards (100 + 10 + 10). The hashmarks are 70 feet, 9 inches from each sideline. That leaves 53 feet, 7 inches (120 – 70 – 70) from sideline to sideline in the middle of the field.
