Is 1,969 cubits as long as a Football field?

It's about eight times as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 240 cubits.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 240 cubits 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 20 cubits farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
