About the dimensions of soccer fields:
The Fifa rules state the following:
min./max. length of the field: 90-100 m
min/max. widths: 45 - 90 m.
For international events:
min/max. lengths: 100 - 110 m
min./max widths: 64 - 75 m
The Corner arc may be 1 m or 1 yard diagonal. All other dimensions within the
playing area are stupid soft metric. Hard metrication is feasible and long
overdue as you can see that the max. length is 110 m at the most.
