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 0.00000000068040 light years?
It's about 60,000 times as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 0.00000000000001159830 light years.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 0.00000000000001159830 light years 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 0.0000000000000009665220 light years farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
