To convert square feet to yards, you need to know the conversion factor. Since 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, you can calculate the number of square yards in 50,000 square feet by dividing the square footage by 9 (since 1 yard is 3 feet, 1 square yard is 3 feet x 3 feet = 9 square feet). Therefore, 50,000 square feet is equal to approximately 5,555.56 square yards.
