Measuring stuff in the U.S.A.
Authorities looking for fugitives Richard Matt and David Sweat have searched 16 square miles -- more than 10,000 acres, which is the equivalent of almost 8,000 football fields -- New York State Police Maj. Charles Guess told reporters Wednesday.
How many Walmart parking lots is that?

As I understand it, the average Walmart mega-store parking lot (1000 spaces) consumes almost 20 acres, thus the police have searched approx. 500 parking lots.

It's the same the world over (football pitches)
Here in the UK our football fields are a different dimension (and we also use our feet by the way), but the unit is the same. Here, we usually hear that "the length is the same as x football fields".
If you're a sad git like me, you find other strange dimensions:
Weight:
"A bag of cement" as in: he has a waistline like a bag of cement

Time:
"A Jiffy" (as in: I'll be there in one)
Volume:
How many Olympic swimming pools of Vodka did that pop star consume before he fell off the stage and broke his leg?
The beauty of the feminine form:
The "Phwoaar" number (commonly misinterpreted as a scale of 1 to 10) but actually a mathematical number invented by Einstein. Which is why all men understand it, but cannot communicate it to others.
