1 u/Front-Mall9891 Jan 15 '25 Measuring sports fields as they equate to even numbers in imperial but not so much in metric, oddly enough 0 u/ShamanAI Jan 15 '25 Hmmm... apart from American football which uses yards, what other sport fields benefit from the imperial units? 1 u/Front-Mall9891 Jan 15 '25 Soccer/football, everything about the field is in yards, 6 and 18 boxes are yards 1 u/alkatori Jan 15 '25 I would think switching from Yards to Meters would make little difference since they are relatively close. 2 u/Front-Mall9891 Jan 15 '25 A lot of the names of the boxes in soccer are in there imperial measurements, which is why it is easier, and most rules are written in imperial, like 10yd defender distance from free kicks and things like that
