But...

check this out:

Here in my town there is a team that plays in the NAFL. They use NFL rules and US officials drive in to do the game.

How do you "convert" a field that is 150 x 65 with our uprights to a field that is 120 x whatever with their uprights?

Here's what they did:
  1. narrow the sidelines on each side to create a 160'-wide field
  2. keep the field at 100 yards
    • the goal lines are at our 5 yard lines
    • the uprights then are only 5 yards deep in the EZ instead of 10
    • this only affects FGAs, where they do *not* move the LS back 5 yards for FGA
    • players need to be reminded that there is a padded wishbone support 5y in the EZ
You're right: it's easier if they converted to real North-American football.
