Handegg pitches have a fixed size of 109.75x48.8. Football pitches vary in size a lot so it doesn't make sense to use them as a reference size.

UEFA regulations say a pitch has to be 100-105m long, the FA and FIFA say similar. I wouldn't call that a lot of variance.

If someone wants to communicate precision, they should probably use SI units instead of sports pitches. If not, football field will do just fine.

One just needs to check the size of random field first.
