Is 18.860 ropes as long as a Football field?

It's about one-and-one-tenth times as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 18 ropes.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 18 ropes 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 1.50 ropes farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
