  Does it work for football fields to real units?

  I use noai.ddg and don’t get the converter thingy.

      I don’t get it for football fields or other ‘anything but metric’ units which is what I was going for.

        oic, yeah. When I try to convert “football fields” into meters, it gets it confused with sqft.

    A football field is 100 yards, so just try “100 yards to real units” if you’re genuinely curious.

        I’m getting it intermittently too, for what it’s worth. Depending heavily on the unit. For example, I tried and realized “100 yards in real units” doesn’t work, but “100 feet in real units” does.

      120 yards really, the end zones are part of the field.

        True, but:

        When the “football field” is used as unit of measurement, it is usually understood to mean 100 yards (91.44 m),
