How many yards long is a standard lacrosse field?

The story behind the answer

A standard field lacrosse field is 110 yards long.

The measurement runs from one endline to the other, while the field is 60 yards wide between the sidelines. Those dimensions describe the standard outdoor men's field used in organized field lacrosse, although local facilities may use modified layouts for youth or recreational play.

The goals are not placed directly on the endlines. Each goal sits 15 yards from its endline, leaving room behind the cage for players to continue attacking. The two goals are 80 yards apart, and the area around each goal is an 18-foot-diameter crease.

A common mix-up is treating the field as 110 yards by 60 yards without considering the playing zones. The midfield line and restraining lines divide the field into defensive, midfield, and attacking sections. Lacrosse also differs from many field sports because play can continue behind the goals, making the space behind each cage strategically important.
