How big is a football field?

I’m trying to understand the overall size of a football field, including both length and width. Does the total size include the end zones as well? Also, is the field size consistent across leagues like the NFL or does it vary?

A typical NFL football field measures 100 yards in length from one goal line to the other and is 53.3 yards wide. When you factor in the two end zones, the overall length stretches to 120 yards. In feet, that translates to roughly 360 feet long (including the end zones) and 160 feet wide.

A football field in the NFL stretches out to 100 yards in length and 53.3 yards in width. When you factor in the end zones, the overall length adds up to 120 yards, which is equivalent to 360 feet.
