In fact, the difference is much more than people realize. It's especialyl noticable in my town because we have a team that plays in the NAFL.

US field: 360' x 160' = 6,400 yards˛.

Cdn field: 150 yards x 65 yards = 9,750 yards˛.
(http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...are+yards&meta=)

Ratio is 9,750:6,400 = 1.52:1.

And just 2 years ago we went to 7-men in NCAA-equivalent football. We could use 6 because of the mechanics that were developed allowed for coverage: migration of deep officials.
