According to my calculations if an American football field is 160 feet wide (53.3-repeating Yards), you would have an acre when you went from one goal line to just inside the 10 yard line at the other end (90.75 yards). Sportscasters might say, "First down and goal to go, just inside the ten yard line (or at the nine yard line)."
An acre as pointed out in the post above is 4840 square yards (a square yard is similar in size to a square meter but slightly smaller). Multiplying 53.3 repeating by 90.75 yards gives approximately 4840 square yards.
In my Ohio hometown of my childhood a block was one-tenth of a mile. That measurement may be different in your city.
