I have absolutely no idea how that number relates to any comparable operation. Can anyone add a banana for scale?

> If you took a petabyte's worth of 1GB flash drives and lined them up end to end, they would stretch over 92 football fields.

That's actually a somewhat useful visual.

Not really unless you're using 1 GB flash drives from fifteen years ago. 256 GB is now common, which would make that petabyte less than 1 football field. (It's only 4096 such drives.)

...how large is a football field?

American Gridiron football, though Rugby League and Rugby Union (two other forms of football) use similar length fields/pitches. An Association Football pitch is almost always longer than a Gridiron field, depending on how you measure (it is typical to exclude the end-zones when measuring a Gridiron field, and while Rugby and Gridiron football have a playable area behind the goal (or try) line, Association Football does not.

As a side-note Canadian Gridiron football uses a longer field than American Gridiron football, though (measuring between the goal lines) still slightly shorter than a typical Association Football pitch.

Australian Rules Football is on a field typically longer even than an Association Football pitch, though I don't believe there is a regulation limiting the size.
