100 yards between the goal lines. The end zones are 10 yards long each, giving it a total of 120 yards. They begin the game by kicking the ball off from the 30 yard line, not mid-field, from one team to the other. The receiving team returns the ball until the returner is tackled.
Best Answer: 1 yard equals three feet. You do the math and it is 300 feet...... Technically, a football field is 120 yards long (ten yards for each endzone) So really a football field is 360 feet long. One yard on an american football field is equal to two feet. The field is one hundred yards two hundred feet and each end zone is ten yards  twenty feet. Total of two hundred forty feet. They call it a yard because  the ball is on the 86 foot line sounds funny.
