I know the local gridiron teams here in Finland (yes, we do have a small-time amateur league) have a hard time finding full-size playing fields.
Rugby league games will be held at Wembley (as they were at the old stadium) and end-to-end the field is 110 metres long, which is over 120 yards.

EDIT: confirmation from last line of this - http://www.wembleystadium.com/pressb...ases/turfstory
