Would be very tight for American football. You need 120 yards plus a few extra at each end for safety and to stop the players ploughing into the crowd at full speed. We're extending the pitch by a bit but I don't think we'll have quite enough space.
Baseball realistically couldn't be played unless on a very strange shaped pitch. They played in the Olympic stadium, but they had room around the pitch where the running track was and they could remove sections of seats to fit it in.
