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 0.01674 leagues?
It's about four-fifths as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 0.0197495 leagues.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 0.0197495 leagues 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 0.00164579 leagues farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
