Ok, Steve... to celebrate, you start loading us up with cookies? What's the deal with the ScreenCast.com session cookies that have suddenly started showing up?

Cookies are acceptable, but, please, no spam.

Don’t forget to throw in some random blind links to porn sites.

That was my fault. I used Jingproject by Techsmith to do a screen capture of the pork chop t-shirt logo and put it on their hosting site which is Screencast.com. Obviously, the image link wasn't working but they gave you a cookie instead. Go figure. I went ahead and removed the image link to Screencast. I will relink the image later and edit the original post of it again.

Do you have a standard pork chop that can be used for the calculations? 😛
Heh... I dunno... ask Celko... he's got standards for everything else. 😛

Ask not will I, that the Dark Side be.

Joe's a nice guy, just opinionated.

No cookies from me that I'm aware of.

I think a standard, 2 stone pork chop weight makes sense!

Going by 120 yards by 50 yards for an American football field (100 yards goal-to-goal plus 2x10 yard end zones by 50 yards wide)
select Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft =
1000000/(select SQ_Ft_Per_Football_Field = (120.0*50.0*3.0*3.0) )
Results:
Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft
---------------------------------
18.518518518518518

Fair enough - if you're going to throw in the endzones....:)
However - the width (per NFL regulations) is 160' and not 50 yards, so - you're STILL not quite there:
http://www.sportsknowhow.com/diagrams/football-nfl-field-dimension-diagram.pdf
That then means that you're going for:
160 x 300 (no endzone) = 48000
or
160 x 360 (w/ endzones) = 57600
Which then work out to 20.8 and 17.6 football fields respectively.
Darn, I never realized it was 53 and one-third yards, instead of 50. Probably pretty hard to spot the difference by eye.
I got a slightly different value than you, 17.36111..., for the full field.
select
End_To_End_Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft =
1000000/(select SQ_Ft_Per_Football_Field = (360.0*160.0) ),
Goal_to_Goal_Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft =
1000000/(select SQ_Ft_Per_Football_Field = (300.0*160.0) )
Results:
End_To_End_Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft Goal_to_Goal_Football_Fields_per_Million_SQ_Ft
-------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
17.3611111111 20.8333333333

you've got your shirts, you can stop now.

I've only met him here on the forums, and a good impression he made not. Opinionated, in my mind, is being nice. Maybe, in person would be different, unfortunately, that would take some effort from me to overcome my current opinion of him. Right now, I'd rather just ignore him, that being the better part of valor in the case.

Of course, the reverse may be true as well.

Completely Off-Topic, I wanted to see who started the Pork Chop thing, and the forum software search shows no hits for "pork chop". What's up with that?

Multi-talented is right... you should see the cannon I built to launch pork chop dinners. 😉
