A little over 4 laps as now days they run meters vice miles.
4 laps would be 1600 meters (9.3 meters short of a mile), which is about 2-3 seconds or so from being a mile depending on how fast you are running.

"Track Distances
1 lap = 400 meters = ¼ mile
[437.44 yards] [440 yards]
2 laps = 800 meters = ½ mile
3 laps = 1200 meters = ¾ mile
4 laps = 1600 meters = 1 mile*
5 laps = 2000 meters = 1-1/4 miles
6 laps = 2400 meters = 1-1/2 miles
7½ laps = 3000 meters = a race distance
8 laps = 3200 meters = 2 miles*
*[1 mile = 1609.3 meters, 2 miles = 3218.6 meters.
Add 2-3 seconds to your 1600m time to get the equivalent for one mile.]
* * * * * ** * * * *
100 meters = 1/4 lap (1 full curve or straight)
200 meters = 1/2 lap = 1/8 mile
300 meter s = 3/4 lap = don’t bother
600 meters = 1-1/2 laps = 3/8 mile"

If you're talking about running along the lines of an NFL regulation football field:
The field of play is 100 yards with two 10 yard end zones in length
The field of play is 53.3 yards wide.
A full trip around a football field is 120 + 53 + 120 + 53 =346 yards.
1, 760 yd = 1 mi
1760/346 = 5.08.
You would have to run around a football field five times plus a little extra to run a mile.
Now, if you're talking about the NCAA regulation sized clay tracks that often surround football fields in some stadiums. Those are 1/4 of a mile. 4 trips around that track.
But run around the edges of the football field, running on the grass is easier on your joints.

If you are running around an actual football field (100 yds x 50 yds) a mile would be 5.9 laps (1 mi = 1760 yds/300 = 5.86667). A standard racetrack around a football field should be 440 yds, so 4 laps should be a mile there (1760/440 = 4).

Why doesn't anyone do the math?
A mile is 1,760 yards. If you run around the footaball field which is 120 yards long (10 yards with each endfield) and 53.3 yards wide, each lap will be 346.6 yards. So if you run around the outside of the enfield, it would take a little more than 5 laps to reach one mile.
If you cut across at the goal line, you lap would only be 306.6 yards and it would take 5.74 laps to reach 1 mile.

If you are running on a track around a football field it would be 4. The football field itself would be 4-5.

4 laps around the football field, it's a little less than a mile.
