Okay, so I wanted to figure out the size of a CFL football field. I’d heard it was different from the NFL, and I was curious about just how different.
First, I grabbed my measuring tape – you know, the retractable kind. I figured I’d need something long enough, and this one goes up to 25 feet, seemed a good start.
Then I hit the internet. I figured someone, somewhere, must have already measured this thing! I searched for “CFL football field measurements”.
I found the official dimensions pretty quickly. It’s all over the place, actually. Turns out a CFL field is 110 yards long and 65 yards wide. Pretty straightforward, right?
The info I found also explained the markings. I learned that the “Sidelines” are the long sides of the field, and the “Goal Lines” are at the ends. And the “Field of Play”? That’s just the whole rectangle marked out by those lines.
Breaking it Down
- Length: 110 yards.
- Width: 65 yards.
So, there you have it! I went from being totally clueless to having the exact measurements. Not a bad little research project, if I do say so myself!
