To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you can use the formula:

$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})
$$

In this case, the length of the playing field is 115 yards and the width is 57 yards. Plugging in these values:

$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (115 + 57)
$$

First, calculate the sum of the length and width:

$$
115 + 57 = 172
$$

Now, multiply by 2:

$$
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times 172 = 344
$$

Therefore, the perimeter of the playing field is **344 yards**.
The perimeter of the playing field is 344 yards.
