44 (width of box) plus 22 (11X2, distance from corner to line outside field) is 66 yards. Looked like about 1-2 yards between line off of field and edge of 18, so it seemed to be around 68-70 yards.
With that being said. If you truly play on a small field. I think the teams spacing can still be the same, but transitions become more crucial. You need to be able close space is field is huge or may have more time to close space if field is tiny. On the flip side, a smaller field may be easy to counter if the opponents are playing a high line.
For me, 70 yards isn’t that bad, but the NYCFC field did seem to be a poor environment all around.
