It’s surprising what range of pitch size and slope are allowed in professional football.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_pitch

While FIFA recommends a specific size for pro teams, a legal pitch can have widths range from 46 to 91 metres and lengths of 91 to 119 metres. That’s a possible ratio range of 1:1 to 1:2.58.

I could imagine that stadium upgrades have meant that pitches don’t have as much variation as in the past too.

It makes sense when you remember that the vast majority of football is played by purely amateur players - the rules need to handle a village school as well as the world cup final.

In case anyone is interested, baseball has a similar variety in stadiums. Fenway Park comes to mind as a field with particular unique circumstances, like the Green Monster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Monster).

It also feels relevant to note that air pressure plays a role, and that players have an easier time hitting home runs in high altitude places like Colorado, so the game isn't the same everywhere.

Fortunately most of the top level teams stick to the same dimensions:

I've noticed teams that are used to playing on larger fields often have more inaccurate crosses when they play on narrower fields. Probably due to muscle memory on where their targets should be.
