I'd guess you could fit about 100 containers into one 50 x 100 yard area.

Dude...It's simple mathemnomics...100 yards is 300 feet..a standard 20-foot shipping container would stretch 15 container lengths if placed end to end. 50 yards is 150 feet. With each container approximately 8 feet-6 inches wide...you could go 17 containers wide and still have a few feet left over. The total block stow would be 255 20-foot containers. And that would just be the first tier. Stack'em 2 high and that doubles the number to 510 containers in that same 50 X 100 yard area...

I figured 3 rows of 30 - 33 to allow for aisles between the containers so you could move anyone of them out.

Dude.
