       | What's with those "football stadium", "tennis court", etc
       | measurement units?
       | 
       | Is it assumed that everyone knows how much that is? Are they more
       | understandable than giving a number (area) or two (length x
       | width) in SI - or even Imperial - units?
       | 
       | Instead you have to go search for what the size in that
       | particular sport is, so you can get any idea of what they're
       | talking about!
