The goal markess were defined as part of the pitch by the original rules of the game in the late 16th century, but it was not until the mid 19th century that the crossbar and the net were added
It's about one-twentieth as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 0.000000000000003556040 parsecs.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 0.000000000000003556040 parsecs from end to end.
