Force of photons from the Sun hitting a football field = weight of 1 dime?

I read, I think, some time ago that the "weight" of photons from the Sun hitting an area the size of a football field at noon on a sunny day would be about the "weight" of a dime?

Would appreciate it someone could flesh that out, verify if correct or false?

Thanks
