9,256 football fields and counting
A football field is 120 yards long by 53 yards wide. (..people often forget about the 10 yard depth of the end zones.)
As of Jan 2005, Wal-Mart had a total of 529,835,000 square feet of retailing space in the United States.
This is the equivalent of 9,256 football fields.
Between Jan 2004 and Jan 2005, Wal-Mart added 678 new football fields of retailing space.
If all of the fixtures and inventory were pulled out of all of Wal-Mart's U.S. retailing space and each store was filled with 1 person per square yard, Wal-Mart stores would hold 58,868,160 people (or 20% of the entire 2005 population of the United States.)

Now add about 50% on top of that to cover the real estate that Wal-Mart owns but is not currently using or is leasing to other companies.
