I'm retarded but is 50 yards in CFL equal to 50 yards in NFL?

Wind? Arena or Open field?

Also, Must say that 50 yards in the NFL is longer than 50 since the goal post is at the end of the end zone (no clue how long the end zone is)

Still, 50 yards is absurdly long without the added pressure of a million on the line.

50 yard is 50 yards, and no it is not longer than 50 yards in the nfl. They take the fact that the post is in the back of the endzone into account when calculating the yardage.

In the CFL, the goal post is just beyond the goal line, just like the NFL had it back in the day. CFL end zones are 25 yards deep, which would've made it an even more impressive feat.
