The cockroaches, for example, who came over from Africa on slave ships - three different species live with the Bartons. Very handy to have around, too, when the Bartons suffered from bedbugs. Cockroaches eat bedbugs like candy.
To be more exact, one acre is 90.75 percent of a 100 yards (91.44 metres) long by 53.33 yards (48.76 metres) wide American football field (without the end zones). The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres (0.53 ha). For residents of other countries, the acre might be envisaged as approximately 56.68 percent of a 105 metres (344.49 feet) long by 68 metres (223.10 feet) wide association football (soccer) pitch.
A football field is a little larger than an acre. Football field is 160 X 300 feet from side line to side line and goal line to goal line and that area is 48,000 sq. feet. An acre measures 43,560 sq. feet. That works out to be 1.10 acres equals a football field. Even if you include the endzones of a football field it is still just 1.32 acres.
