Is an acre approximately the size of a soccer (or a rugby) pitch?

er, thanks to those of yuo who answered my earlier question by reference to an American Football pitch, but being a brit (hence the username), I was in fact referring to Association Football (or "soccer")Is an acre approximately the size of a soccer (or a rugby) pitch?
I didn't know this but:



A football pitch has to be between 100 yds and 130 yds long and between 50 yds and 100 yds wide so the smallest football pitch would be 100x50 = 5000 sq. yds and the largest 130x100 = 13000 sq. yds. An acre is 4840 sq. yds. Good for my maths and actually makes me sound quite intelligent!!Is an acre approximately the size of a soccer (or a rugby) pitch?
If you live in a modest suburb, it is typically 4 lots +/-.



* in the USAIs an acre approximately the size of a soccer (or a rugby) pitch?
yes if you are a brit it is more or less the same. Well, as near as makes no difference.
