How big are Arena Football fields?

Could basketball stadiums such as Quicken Loans Arena (Cleveland, Ohio) hold an Arena football field?

Yes.
Arena Football fields:
66 yards long and 85 feet wide.
Two 8 yard endzones and the 50 yard field.

The Q has already hosted an Arena Football game back in 1999 when it was Gund Arena.

It was a preseason match up between the visiting, and now defunct, Florida Bobcats and the Buffalo Destroyers, who now play in Columbus.

April 7th, 1999 - Florida Bobcats 17, Buffalo Destroyers 24

The Q is more than adequate for Arena Football and has great lighting and site lines for the game.

Rumor is that Cleveland will have an AFL team for the 2008 season.

50 yards

well you could get a football field and play 2 arena football games

50 yards with 8 yard endzones
and its 15 yards wide

yea, they are 50 long and like 25 wide, the reason they could is because the Phila Soul play were the 76ers play most of the Areana teams play were Nba teams play.

50 yards

Clearly they could. Oh and most people forgot the ENDZONES, they aren't 50 yards because you need the length for endzones. It's like how the NFL field is actually 120 yards long when you include the endzones.

It's half as long and half as wide as an NFL feild. The goal post are half as wide apart also. The entire game is the NFL divided by 2.

Yes its big enough. Anything big enough for a regulation sized hockey rink is big enough for arena football.

basketball court is 94' x 50'
hockey rink is 200' x 85'
arena football is 192' x 85' (50 yd long + 8 yd long endzones x 28-1/3 yd wide)

Arena football is played exclusively indoors, in arenas usually designed for either basketball or ice hockey teams. The field is the same width (85 feet) as a standard NHL hockey rink. The field is 50 yards long with 8-yard end zones. Depending on the stadium in which a game is being played, the end zones may be rectangular (like a basketball court) or curved (like a hockey rink). There is a heavily padded wall on each sideline, with the padding placed on top of the hockey dasher boards. The field goal uprights are 9 feet wide, and the crossbar is 15 feet above the playing surface. Taut rebound nets on either side of the posts bounce any missed field goals back into the field of play. The ball is "live" when rebounding off these nets or their support apparatuses.

50 yards yo.

Probably, the AFL fields are only 50 yards.

50 yards

50 yards.. you must be a beast quarterback to throw that small AFL ball that whole field.
