It isn't 160 feet long. It is 120 yards long. It is 360 feet long. I don't know how you got that answer, but it is wrong. Sorry. I hope I could help you out.
I assume you're referring to the width of the football field, which is indeed 160 feet (53 1/3 yards). I'll have to look around for an answer, but I'm sure I remember reading that the unusual width was a result of having to fit football playing fields inside the dimensions of Baseball stadiums, so the playing area had to shrink (perhaps from the size of a Canadian football field) to accommodate.

Why does a football field have a hump?
Football fields that are built without a dome for cover from the weather have a hump running the length of the field to help with runoff from heavy rain. Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin is a good example of a football field that has a hump.
