gridiron - definition of gridiron in Encyclopedia (131 words)
Gridiron football is a term that refers to both American football and Canadian football.
The word "gridiron" alone may refer either to the field or to the sport; however, in North America it's usually only used to refer the field.
In some other English-speaking countries--particularly Australia and New Zealand--it is the primary term used to refer to the sport, differentiating it from other forms of football such as Australian rules football, association football (soccer), or rugby football.
