How long is 1,197 hands?
It's about one-and-one-tenth times as long as a Football field
The length of a Football field is about 1,080 hands.
(American) (total distance; per NFL regulation)
According to NFL specifications, an American football field should measure 1,080 hands from end to end. Because each team's goalpost is located at the far end of the scoring area (end zone), a ball on a scoring play may need to travel as many as 90 hands farther when kicked into the scoring area than when run (rushed) or passed into it.
