Most of the AFL stadia/grounds measure approximately 175 yards by about 140 to 150 yards. The pitches of most other well-known 'football' games are around 100 to 110 yards in length. These latter pitches do have the advantage of being rectangular, as opposed to the Aussie grounds ovular shape, but with the much larger dimension, the rectangular shape of the soccer pitch nowhere near accounts for such a huge advantage in general dimension of the Australian football ground.
