Metric vs. other measurement systems - chart

"The size of 2 American football fields, with cooling towers four stories high."

I for one haven't a clue as to how long an "American football field" is, or any other football field either.
Then again how high is a "storie"? Is that like in a house? An apartment building? a skyscraper building? Or?

It sure bugs me when they throw in these ambiguous measurements that they expect everybody to know perxactly what they mean.

A Usonian football field is 777... jugs of maple syrup long.

A story is about the height of 36 jugs of maple syrup.
