No. Ford Field in Detroit faces East and West. A field has to run North and South as mandated by the NFL Comission, but a field can be built East and West only with special consent granted by the Comission. It must first be reviewed before given consent.

No, not all pro football fields have a north/south layout. For example, the new multi-billion dollar Texas Stadium lays east to west.

There is no rule in the nfl rule book that requires endzones to be on the north/south sides of the field.

Most fields have endzones on the north/south sides so the sun doesn't shine in the players' eyes. This becomes a moot point in domed stadiums.

Although the football colloquium "a north/south runner" can still be used to refer to players playing on a field that lays east/west. This phrase refers to backs who don't use fancy footwork to gain yardage; rather, they run up the middle of the field with little deviation.

Because if they ran east and west there would be a sun factor. If a game was played in the late afternoon with a setting sun, one team would always be looking into the sun to catch punts/kickoffs and high arcing passes.

Because the Sun rises and sets from East to West.

Most soccer fields do run north and south. This is because it prevents the goalie to have the sun in their eyes.
