Consistent with many major-league sports stadiums built in the 1960s, it is located in a suburban area, though one that is host to major tourist attractions. The field dimensions (333 feet instead of 347 or 350, for example) were derived from a scientific study conducted by the Angels.

A mile contains 5,280 feet. The standard length of the field used for playing American football is 100 yards, or 300 feet. Dividing 5,280 feet by 300 feet yields 17.6, the number of football fields in a mile. Canadian football is played on a field of a different size, which measures 110 yards, or 330 feet long. A mile could hold 16 Canadian football fields placed end to end.
