“Football fields are just very big rulers”

An American football field is 100 yards long, and there are hash marks that measure each yard. “A football field is just a giant ruler” was posted on Twitter by Henry Doby III on August 7, 2013. “When you think about it, a football field is just a giant ruler #weirdthings” was posted on Twitter by Annie Marchesani on October 27, 2013.

Wikipedia: American football field
The rectangular field of play of American football games measures 100 yards (91.44 m) long between the goal lines, and 160 feet (48.8 m) (53 1⁄3 yards) wide. In addition, there are end zones extending another 10 yards (9.144 m) past the goal lines to the “end lines”, for a total length of 120 yards (109.7 m). When the “football field” is used as unit of measurement, it is usually understood to mean 100 yards (91.44 m), although technically the full length of the official field, including the end zones, is 120 yards (109.7 m).
 
White markings on the field identify the distance from the end zone. Inbound lines, or hash marks, are short parallel lines that mark off 1 yard (0.91 m) increments.
