the equivalent of 10 football pitches.

I am unfamiliar with this unit of measure. Can someone translate this into "baseball kicks" for me?

I take it to have something to do with the average distance a soccer ball is thrown by a goalie in a game but that’s probably not correct.

“Britain’s largest prehistoric structure stretching for 10.5 hectares, the equivalent of 10 football pitches”

what’s that in metric dog years??

that hectare thing ain’t the building blocks of life, is it, or the blueprint of a human being?

A “football pitch” is a soccer field.

The distance from the football pitcher to the football batter.

Seven English pitches = 1 American throw

Roughly one throw = a punt or 2/3 a place kick
