Correction for the length of a Football field

Thanks for your input! Let us know more about what's wrong in the form below.
How long is 929.660 rods?
It's about 45 times as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 21.81820 rods.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 21.81820 rods from end to end. Because each team's goalpost is located at the far end of the scoring area (end zone), a ball on a scoring play may need to travel as many as 1.818180 rods farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
