Learning the exact dimensions of the field is not necessarily that important, but it is good to have a basic knowledge of the field itself. National Football League (NFL) or Professional has its own measurement and dimensions of the field. An official sized field is 120 yards for the length and 53 and 1/3 yards or 160' for the width. In contrast to baseball, these dimensions can't be modified to fit the available playing area.
It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals. There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. The hash marks of NFL are the thinnest among all of the levels of football game. It measure about 70' and 9" from the side lines and are about 18' and 6" in width. On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards.
End zones are ten yards deep. The end line border is 6'and it marks the end zone's back. Team benches are set next to the restraining line which is between the 30 yard markers. NFL field numbers are about 6' in length and 4' in width. All NFL fields have a 6' restraining line next to the side lines. These lines mark the closest area non-players can be to the football field.
Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post. The goal post of NFL is about 10' in length and 18' and 6" in width. The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line. The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. After reaching the 50-yard line, the yardage markers start to descend (40, 30, 20, 10) every ten yards until they reach the opposite goal line.
