Why pitches vary

The Laws of the Game set a range rather than one fixed size, so pitches differ from ground to ground. Many professional stadiums use 105 by 68 metres, the size FIFA recommends.

Against an American football field

A 105 by 68 metre pitch is a little shorter than an American football field with end zones (105 m against 109.7 m) but much wider (68 m against 48.8 m), which makes it about a third larger overall.
