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 1,200 milimeters?
It's about one-ninetieth as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 109,728 milimeters.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 109,728 milimeters 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 9,144 milimeters farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
