> When you start getting beyond the "thousands of football fields" i
I feel like that line is somewhere between 5 and 15 for americans, and not "thousands". And probably at around "oh the handegg one, no, I have no idea how big one is in the first place" for rest of the world

As an American, I've never seen more than maybe 2-3 football fields next to each other. They're usually stand alone items so that is even rare. Imagining them in plural at all is something people likely do with a large degree of error is my guess, even for us American's that are familiar with the size of a single field. It's a awfully small unit for anything related to space. Even a kilometer which is ~11x as long as an American football field is a small unit for space.

For order of magnitude descriptions, American and Association Football fields can be treated as approximately equivalent lengths. (The former is slightly larger counting the endzones as part of the size, slightly smaller if not counting them.)
