[edit] Regarding Google not having acknowledged this project
Check out: Search result of googling Google's own site
And here's an e-mail exchange I had with their press officer with nonpublished e-mail addresses redacted:

I am preparing an article on the Google plant site at The Dalles, Oregon, and am unable to find any press releases specific to that project.
Any information for public release would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Size of football fields
This is very vague. What size are "football" fields? Do we mean American football, or real football? These sizes should be listed in actual terms. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.89.64.176 (talk • contribs) 2007-03-08T16:32:56 (UTC)
- As the site is located well within the U.S., that would be American football; "real football" is referred to as soccer. A football field is exactly 360 by 160 ft, including the end zones, or 57,600 ft², 1.3223 acres (0.5351 ha). Ironically, a soccer field has a rather murky standard size which could be from 330 to 360 ft by 210 to 240 ft, or 69,300 to 86,400 ft², or 1.590909 acres (0.6438 ha) to 1.98347 acres (0.8027 ha).
