142 to 144 meters x 1.0936 = 155.3 to 157.5 yards

Croke Park is 160 yards long by 98 yards wide.

depends how big your yard is.

This is 2009 damm it we are metric.

I think it is 150m. so about 140 yards (open to correction on both figures)

Length - 130m minimum and 145m maximum (142yds - 158.5yds)
Width - 80m minimum and 90m maximum (87.5 yds - 98.5yds)
(Croke Park - 144.5 m x 88m = 158yds x 96.2 yds)

There should be 5M (5.4yds) run-off area at the side and ends

It has to be at least 130metres - two '65s at either end. Don't know of any pitches like this though, with no 'midfield'. There can be up to 15m in midfield between the '65s I think, so 145m max, although most pitches are probably 5-10m between the '65s. Why do you want it specifically in yards? If you want to convert it just google "convert metres to yards"

every pitch is different..it all depends on the size of the field that saw there before the pitch!!!

i think theres a maximum and a minimum size tho??

Twice the distance from the middle to the end
