Aren't soccer fields like 20% larger usually?

Because main concern when using soccer/football fields as measurement is accuracy

Yeah. A lot of USLW games are played in gridiron stadiums, and the touchline is way further out than the sideline. They’re not required to be strictly uniform like gridiron, though, it’s more like a baseball diamond in that regard, so I’m not sure if they’re strictly wider, or just usually wider.
