No, put them the other way.

30 containers at 3 yards wide (9’ to allow clearance) are 90 yards. Three rows of 40’ will take up 120’ or 40 yards, fitting into the 50 yard width of the football field.

So how do you pick them up, being able to get to anyone of them at the same time? That was one of your other assumptions...

Same way you would. From the “sidelines” of the football field.

You are most wrong, amigo. I normally pick them up one at a time, approaching them from their long side, which in this case would be from the "end zones" of your hypothetical football field.

So how would you get the container that was in the lower deck, middle of your double-stacked 255 container “block?”

Actually, the double-stacked block would now be 510 containers (apparently we're back to 20-footers again). Also, are you paying me straight time or overtime? You neglected to mention whether this was a weekday or Sat, Sun, or Holiday... Is the container full? Does it contain Hazmat, Class 1 Explosives, or is it just general cargo? No matter...If I only needed one empty 20-foot container, then any container would do. However, according to your request to remove the centermost container on the lower tier of a 15 container long X 17 container wide block stacked 2 container tiers high,..I would approach the 8th container in the line of 15 containers laid end to end with my container forklift truck and remove them one at a time starting with the top container and then the lower one. Working inward I would keep going until I reached the lower tier container in the 9th Row. 18 moves...take a couple of hours...but I got the container you wanted...and the $100 I wanted. And just so I didn't exceed your theoretical 50 yard X 100 yard stack area limitation, I would stack the other 17 removed containers on top of some of the other containers, creating a third tier.
