How long is a football field?

[henrysullivan]

I’m a bit confused about the exact length of a football field. Does the measurement include the end zones, or is it just the playing area? Also, does the size differ depending on the level of play?

A typical NFL football field stretches 100 yards from one goal line to the other. When you factor in the two end zones, the entire length adds up to 120 yards. That’s a total of 360 feet from one end of the field to the other!
