Actually an acre is equal to about 91 yards on a football field, so it's not quite as big as a field minus the end zones.

an acre of land is 208 feet x 208 feet if it were square. Most residential building lots are rectangular. Depending on where you live, a typical lot size for a neighborhood would range anywhere from 5000 square feet (50x100, or just over 1/10 of an acre) to quarter-acre lots (roughly 10,000 square feet).
An acre has 43,560 square feet in it. Just multiply the length of the lot x the width to get square footage, then divide the lot square footage by 43,560, and you get how many acres it is.
Example. Suppose you have a 65x120 lot... multiply them to get 7800 square feet. Divide that by 43,560, and you get 0.18 acres, or almost 1/5 of an acre. Another way to look at it is that an average American football field is about 1.3 acres.

Kathy, an acre is an acre, like a square foot is what it is. What you should do is go and see a house that sits on an acre of land to get a visual idea, after that, always ask about the acreage. My daughter lives on 8 acres, it's a pretty big spread.

A football field (american) is 1.3 acres. Take off the endzones and sidelines and you'll have an acre. I have the source.

An acre of land is equal too 43,560 Square feet. So I would compare it to a 43,560 square foot house.

1 football field.
An acre is 43,560 square feet, and 3 football fields total 45, 000 square feet.
