claim that there was a about a 300 foot long CUT in the pool lining would mean the length/size of the supposed CUT with a knife would be a little less than the Length of a football field.
This would take a long time to do and the pool is under observation by a camera from what I have read.

I was just trying to imagine how big this supposed cut was.

Diagram illustrating official NFL football field dimensions, including total field length, width, end zones, hash marks, and yard line measurements used in the NFL

An NFL football field measures 120 yards long by 53⅓ yards wide (360 ft × 160 ft), with two 10-yard end zones and hash marks spaced 18 feet 6 inches apart. Total playing area is 57,600 square feet.

Getting the dimensions right on a professional football field makes a big difference. Accurate measurements help ensure the field is safe, meets league standards, and supports smooth game-day operations. From field width to hash mark spacing, every detail affects how the game plays and how the field is maintained. This guide covers all the standard field specifications and offers practical tips for selecting field covers, sideline tarps, and goalpost padding sized for regulation NFL fields.
