NFL.. the goalposts are 120 yards apart. 100 yard field + 2@ 10 yard endzones. Soccer.. the goals range from 100 yards to 130 yards. depending on the level of play.
The penalty mark is twelve yards from the goal line and is equidistant to either post. So it's 36ft.
There is no real number. But if the keeper was on his line, and the defenders were on the edge of the penalty area, there would be 54 feet between them.
