Do you know? I know!! I know!! This is a great little piece of trivia for EVERYONE!! There are alot of sports in the world using very large playing fields.
A baseball field is pretty big. 
What about Soccer -Field Hockey - Rugby??? What about Lacrosse?............ (A Lacrosse field is 110' long by 60' wide)
By now you are thinking - come on, Kara - we know it is a football field! Is that what you are thinking?? That it must be a football field? Well, a football field is 360' long by 160' wide.
If you haven't guessed by now - I'll fill you in. Did you know?...... that a polo field is the largest playing field in all sports. Well, think about it - with all those horses out there it has to be big. Two teams with four players each (and all on horseback) - - PLUS two referees - both on horseback. The field has to be big!
Take a look!
300 yards long and 160 yards wide to be exact. Slightly larger than 9 football fields - and almost 10 acres in size.
