One half of a football field is how long?

Answer 1

Half the distance is used when a penalty has occured and the yardage that is penalized is longer than half the distance to the goal. Example: a team is on their own 10 yard line and they have a 10 yard holding penalty. 10 yards would put them in their own endzone, but they would penalize half the distance and they would start the next drive on their own 5 yard line.

Answer 2

Anytime the penalties normal yardage (5,10,15 yds) would put the team with the ball in the endzone or outside the field of play then the yardage is changed to 1/2 the distance to the goal. This can make some penalties worth less than 1 yd of penalty but your in a tight spot!

Answer 3

If any part of the football crosses the plane of the goal line it is considered a touchdown.

Answer 4

50 yards long not counting the endzone, 60 yards long if counting the endzone

Answer 5

Answer 6
