One acre is 43,560 square feet in area. A standard American football field, including the end zones, measures 360 feet long by 160 feet wide, totaling 57,600 square feet. Therefore, one football field is about 1.32 acres in size. Conversely, one acre covers about 75% (or three-quarters) of a football field
. So, in terms of how many football fields fit into an acre:
- 1 acre ≈ 0.75 of a football field
- 1 football field ≈ 1.32 acres
Hence, an acre is smaller than a full football field, and it takes about 1.32 acres to equal the area of one football field.
