How big is a soccer field compared to an NFL football field?

There is no doubt that soccer and American football are two completely different sports, as anyone that has seen soccer and the NFL can attest to. They do, however, share some similarities. The field on which the games are played has a similar shape, one of the commonalities.

According to FIFA, a standard soccer pitch is between 110 and 120 yards long and 70 to 80 yards wide. Although many professional soccer pitches vary in dimensions, the ideal soccer field is 360 feet in length (120 yards) and 225 feet wide (75 yards).

It is a decent illustration of the size of a soccer field used for professional or competitive play. However, high school and college soccer fields are also quite popular. Soccer fields don't have standardized dimensions between locations at lower levels. FIFA states that the field's measurements can range from 50 yards wide by 100 yards long to 100 yards wide by 130 yards long.

An American football field is 360 feet (120 yards) in length by 160 feet (53.3 yards) wide. American football fields are fixed in size, unlike soccer fields. In professional leagues like the NFL, they are 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. This is 53.3 yards broad and 120 yards long.

Do they use natural turf in football?

Both American football and soccer fields have either natural grass or synthetic turf. Soccer is played on natural grass more frequently in the US, whereas football is played more often on artificial turf.

Teams are significantly more likely to use genuine grass when playing soccer. Only six MLS teams play on artificial turf, while the home fields of the other 21 teams are covered in natural grass.

Artificial grass is frequently used on American football fields by NFL teams. 16 NFL teams have synthetic grass on their home grounds, while 16 use natural grass.
