Honoring 9/11

Our lives changed on that fateful day 10 years ago today. To honor all lives lost every NFL game rolled out an American flag that covered the entire football field. If the dimensions of the flag were 100 yards by 53 1/3 yards how many square feet of material was needed to make the flag? If the fabric cost $1.78/yard how much did one flag cost?
