    Can we please stop using football pitches as a measurement? Using fucking hectares (or acres) or at least square kilometres when you talk about land sizes like every normal person.

    The bad thing about football pitches is, that they dont have a standard size.

      Football pitches (european football ones) do have a standard size, as defined by the Laws of the Game, 105×68m

        Interesting, i looked it up and at least for the German “Bundesliga” (national league) it does not have a standard size. Also the sizes vary for German and international matches.

        At least that’s what their official website says.
