Note that
1 yd = 0.9144 m

Therefore,
The length of an American Football field is
(100 yds)*(09144 m/yd) = 91.44 m

Because the soccer field is 110 m long, its length exceeds the American Football Field by
100 - 91.44 = 8.56 m
or
(8.56/.9144) = 9.36 yd
This difference is equivalent to (8.56/91.44)*100 = 9.4%

Answer:
The Soccer Field is longer by
8.56 m, or
9.36 yd, or
9.4%
