5) Nine-tenths of the Soccer pitch

Generally, the length of a professional soccer field is 344 feet. Hence if you can imagine nine-tenths of the size of the soccer pitch then you will be able to estimate the size of three hundred feet. You must have been to a match at some point in your life, played one, or had the opportunity to become a spectator. In such a case it becomes easier for you to estimate the size of 300 feet by having a look at the field.
