"Based upon the college track being 440 yards in length, it would take 4 trips around that oval to equal one mile.
5,280 feet = One mile
5,280 divided by 3 = 1,760 yards
1,760 yards divided by 440 = 4 (laps)"
Since the standard for tracks built in the last 20+ years is 400M, then you must go 9.344 meters further than 4 laps. Over 90% of the outdoor tracks in existence are only 400M and will thus require the extra 9.344 meters to equal a true mile.
This is why most track meets only run the 1500M or the 1600M and not the mile. Unfortunately, most people erroneously assume that 4 laps equal a mile, due to older tracks being built to a non-metric standard of 440 yards.
If you want to finish on the common start/finish line and you'd like to run/walk a mile, then you should start at the beginning of the 4x400M relay exchange zone, which is 10 meters before the finish line. By doing that you will run/walk about 1 meter more than 1 mile, but you won't be short of a mile, as you would be if you only do 4 laps.

An NCAA Men's Basketball court is 94' x 50', so the perimeter is 288'. An NCAA Women's basketball court is 84' x 50' , so the perimeter is 268' .
There are 5280' in one mile, so 18 1/3 laps of a college men's basketball court or 19.7 laps of a Women's basketball court equal one mile.
It varies because fields are different sizes. But it should be somewhere around 6 or 7 for an averae size field.
This is really not possible to answer since there is no single size of a soccer field. FIFA publishes a range of acceptable values.
