How wide is a football field?

I’m curious about the exact width of a football field and whether it’s standardized across different levels. Is the width the same in leagues like the NFL? Also, does the measurement include sidelines or just the playing area?

A typical NFL football field measures 53.3 yards in width, which is about 160 feet. This width is consistent across nearly all levels of American football. Just a heads up, this measurement refers to the area between the sidelines.
