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 57 smoots?
It's about nine-tenths as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 64.47760 smoots.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 64.47760 smoots 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 5.373130 smoots farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
