Football and Rugby…?

I need to know the field dimensions of a rugby field, Canadian football field and an american football field

No one has gotten it quite right yet. American football is played on a 120 by 53.3 yards or or about 110 by 49 meters). 100 yards from end-zone to end-zone with 10 yard in goal areas.

The Canadian football field is 110 yards (100 metres) long from goal-line to goal line, and 65 yards (59 metres) wide with end zones 20 yards (18 m) deep

Rugby is played on a field up to 100 metres long from try-line to try-line. The width “shall not exceed” 70 metres, and should be as close to that figure is possible. Each try zone can vary from between 10 and 22 metres.

Of course these are only the “official” dimensions — many smaller, local venues can’t meet some particular requirement, and the games are still played by mutual consent of the participants and governing authorities. The most common example I can think of is in the United States, where many high-school and even some college matches are played on an American gridiron pitch, despite the fact that it is 10 metres too short, and almost 20 metres too narrow.
