American football, Australian rules, Rugby football, or Association (soccer) football? I personally would prefer a picture with a banana for scale...

Thankfully there is a paper on estimating banana size: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291330381_Modeling_...

Using a projected area of 70 cm², the floor space should fit ~33142 bananas when tiled end-to-end.

Penrose bananas tile better, though, and they’re resistant to fungal infections (being abstract).

And of course it’s 696 of me granddaddy’s elbows, or approximately 144 donkey farthings.
