      A football field is 57,600 square feet, so if you took 35,274 ounces of cocoa and spread it over 57,600 square feet, you’d get 0.6124 ounces per square foot.

        A friend of mine growing up was a Smoot, it was always fun walking across the bridge. The numbers are regularly repainted and the repainting was also done by the city when resurfacing the bridge in the 80s… lastly it can’t be understated how hilarious it is that the man who was a measurement went on to be a chairman of ANSI and president of the ISO.
