Some of the Stadiums you have mentioned as having hosted soccer games in the past actually have full-time soccer tenants. Mercedes-Benz Arena is the home of Atlanta United, Lumen Field is the home of the Seattle Sounders, and Gilette Stadium is the home of New England Revolution. Perhaps do your research?
Nobody cares about the mls. They’ll still have to renovate all of those stadiums to World Cup standards, which are very different from mls requirements
Metife will likely host it cause it’s NYC area and it’s outdoors, which is better for soccer. Also FIFA likes the final to be held in a stadium with 80k+ capacity which Sofi doesn’t have
BC Place original design was virtually identical to the old Indianapolis RCA Dome. They replaced the inflatable roof with the retractable roof in 2011. It's a bit of an eyesore imo, luckily most of the new condos nearby have obscured the exterior from view!
I've been to several soccer games in ATL. Its such a great venue. They curtain off the upper level most of the games. But i've been to United's home opener to a sold out crowd of 75k. Excellent choice for the world cup matches.
The only reason why they’re using SoFi is because it has more seating,LA has two soccer stadiums but their capacity is in the 20,000+ range which is sad because the home field of LAFC is really nice
Both Arrowhead and SoFi need to remove seats in the corners to accommodate the width of a World Cup field. Most of the other more recent NFL facilities were designed with those dimensions already in mind. In fact, toggling between NFL fields and FIFA field was an express design element. It's understandable that Arrowhead, which opened in 1972, missed that flexibility. It boggles my mind that Kroenke--who owns a Premier League team and an MLS team, mind you--spent billions on SoFi in a city that had hosted two World Cup Finals already, yet built a building unable to fit a professional soccer field.
To bid to host the Final, a facility had to meet minimum, seat requirements. Apparently, when the renovations are complete to fit the field, SoFi's capacity will fall below the threshold to submit a bid. That is the "controversy" that I think the video references. The renovations never entailed removing the whole lower bowl. Merely a few rows of seats in the corners where the bowl tapers inward.
With the Chiefs looking to replace Arrowhead during the next decade, expect World Cup renovations there to be bare minimum. But, renovations to SoFi should proceed as a long-term investment. First, the facility will stage numerous Olympic soccer matches in 2028. Second, the region routinely hosts European club teams during preseason (summmer) tours, and a post-renovation SoFi could bid on those games. Third, CONCACAF brings the Gold Cup to LA every few years. In short, renovating SoFi for the World Cup should not be viewed as a one-off investment.
BMO field to me is unique because of that soccer feel. Too bad there is lot enough seating. Also, BBVA stadium in real life is so beautiful. You just have to see it for yourself if you ever want to take a trip to Monterrey Nuevo León
Dallas Cowboys AT&T, Sofi stadium, KC Chiefs stadium, needs to widen the pitch. This guy has the nerve to say Levee stadium home of SF Giants. Levi's an American icon brand. Doesn't he know jean? And doesn't he know SF Giants play in a ball park in san francisco next to the ocean. He also pronounces Estradio? Come on dude. He also misspelled Lumen. Is this guy joking around or is he for real?
Yes Carolina Panthers stadium has a wider field than other stadiums and it has been renovated to specific soccer stadium for the local MLS team. But I think it was greed from FIFA so many cities dropped out.
It’s the soccer capital of the us, and home to the training facilities of the us national teams, plus the only reason that the mls was created was Lamar hunts idea, and so it would be symbolic to hold a game at the stadium of American soccers founder
@@KanyeTheGayFish69 Soccer capital of the US according to who? Oh ya, Sporting KC. About as credible as your local bar with "the coldest beer in town." Fact is that Arrowhead stadium is probably somewhere in the middle of the pack of NFL stadiums in the US, and with KC being something along the lines of a 3rd tier city to visit. In ideal scenario one would think the US would want a combination of the best stadiums/higher tiered cities (NY, LA, BOS, CHI, MIA, SF, AZ, ATL, PHI, SEA, HOU, DAL) to host. So in this scenario, Phoenix definitely has much more to offer than does KC and thus they got robbed.
@@KanyeTheGayFish69 Aghh, forgot about Denver. Another city which should have received higher consideration than KC. Denver would be in the same tier as Phoenix, but still behind. Although Denvers downtown is livelier than Phoenix, Phoenix still has more than twice the population and a higher MSA and CSA.
The pics for BC Place is tarped off by hanging trap from the top for Vancouver Whitecaps mls games, they will use the whole stadium for the fifa world cup
Another mistake. SF Giants play at Levi’s lol. And name mispronounced. Just like when you called the Astrodome the Alamodome a few weeks back. For entertainment value these gaffes make my day lol
@@manuelgrothe608 the NFL season won’t even begin until after the World Cup and FIFA mandates that MLS and other summer leagues take a break during the tournament. So what the hell are you talking about?
I would love the finals to be in Dallas or the Azteca. I know the azteca is not as good as most of the NFL stadium but its a legendary football stadium. Its in the same breath as Wembly, Maracana, Camp Nou, San Siro and Bernabaue
The final won’t be at Azteca, but I’ve heard that it will host the opening match. We should find out for sure where is having what matches this fall, I think.
@@sonanderson6351 it means Azteca isn’t as modern and doesn’t drive a lot of revenue due to the lack of suites and club boxes. He didn’t question Azteca’s legacy but was being rather realistic.
Ah yes. Levy's stadium, home of the san francisco giants.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that
How can you miss pronounce that???
The Giants are in Bay Area Harbor along with Chase Center

Those 2 new mexican stadiums are dope. Especially the one with mountain view
here is what will take it full circle bmo field is on the same land where exhibition stadium was apparently. aka your worst mlb stadium of all time
BC Place blocks off the upper deck for the MLS games but is the best stadium for the World Cup in Canada really.
The final can only be hosted at jerry world or metlife due to the size requirement which I believe is 80k for the final
And the only 3 options for that is AT&T, Azteca, and MetLife
@@tylerwilliams8455 the final has to be in the US I believe so the Azteca is out
Metife will likely host it cause it’s NYC area and it’s outdoors, which is better for soccer. Also FIFA likes the final to be held in a stadium with 80k+ capacity which Sofi doesn’t have
Sofi can expand to 100,000

@@johnmaster3748 considering they spent 5 billion on it, I doubt they’d be willing to spend much on a new renovation just 3 years into its life
I think the owner or the builders confused yards with metric systems.
This dude loves the word unique 😂
The Big House In Michigan would have been a great venue. Or the Rose Bowl.
Michigan stadium's field is too narrow for FIFA. Rose Bowl is too antique compares to other new stadiums.
BMO field to me is unique because of that soccer feel. Too bad there is lot enough seating. Also, BBVA stadium in real life is so beautiful. You just have to see it for yourself if you ever want to take a trip to Monterrey Nuevo León
In English is called New Lion, Mexico
8:07 You mean New England Revolution FC Of Major League Soccer
Go KC! 💙
Dallas Cowboys AT&T, Sofi stadium, KC Chiefs stadium, needs to widen the pitch.
This guy has the nerve to say Levee stadium home of SF Giants. Levi's an American icon brand. Doesn't he know jean? And doesn't he know SF Giants play in a ball park in san francisco next to the ocean. He also pronounces Estradio? Come on dude. He also misspelled Lumen. Is this guy joking around or is he for real?
Qatar is hosting the Asian cup this summer, and they reduced the capacity of all their World Cup stadiums
There are some hilariously bad mistakes in this video.
I really wanted DC to get a game but oh well.
Hey Depressed, it’s pronounced lee-vai’s and its home to the 49ers, not the Giants! Great vid tho
5:23 San Jose 49ers is better than Santa Clara, California
heard they were considering adding venues with the increased tournament size, we shall see
These are the added ones. I believe they doubled the amount of stadiums
Yes Levy and coke coly. The biggest brands in America 😅
I wonder why Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers) didn't get any world cup games. Same with Cincy.
Yes Carolina Panthers stadium has a wider field than other stadiums and it has been renovated to specific soccer stadium for the local MLS team. But I think it was greed from FIFA so many cities dropped out.
I still don’t get KC. Nobody wants to go to KC.

Dude you gotta learn how to pronounce Levi’s lmao. It’s the jean company
😂😂
Is this guy an American pronouncing Levee? Who doesn't know Levi's brand? What about Pepsi? Is he going to announce Pepsee or Pepsii?
Pepsee or Pepsai. Or Levee or Levai.
The pics for BC Place is tarped off by hanging trap from the top for Vancouver Whitecaps mls games, they will use the whole stadium for the fifa world cup
ESTRADIO?
The finals should be at At+t Stadium in Dallas. It is the biggest Stadium and a awesome one too.
Lol no
Choctaw Stadium for Cowboys
5:22 ah yes, “levves” stadium, My favorite stadium!
Another mistake. SF Giants play at Levi’s lol. And name mispronounced. Just like when you called the Astrodome the Alamodome a few weeks back. For entertainment value these gaffes make my day lol
If the final is at MetLife stadium I’m going to cry because AT&T or Aztec deserves to host the final
Dallas Cowboys , Giants and Jets will have to use XFL or MLS Stadiums
@@manuelgrothe608 the NFL season won’t even begin until after the World Cup and FIFA mandates that MLS and other summer leagues take a break during the tournament.
So what the hell are you talking about?
Really needed something in Indianapolis, chicago or Cincinnati
or detroit, cleveland really anything midwest
They should have selected US Bank Stadium, but they didn’t.
Minneapolis and Chicago took themselves out of the running for whatever reason
I would love the finals to be in Dallas or the Azteca.

You need to react to MLS Stadiums
BC Place hosted the Final of the 2015 Women's World Cup.
BMO Field hosted the Final of the 2007 U-20 World Cup.
I wish it was here in Illinois . They can have it in soldier fields or at Seat Geek
If only the new bears stadium was built they would most likely put it there. Nobody wants to put a World Cup game at the current soldier field
With that pitiful capacity? Even the Bears don't want to play there lol
Me too. I’m in indiana and need games close to me😂
@@sushipizza4439 closest stadium to use is Arrowhead in Kansas City. It’s still a 7 and a half hour drive
the azteca could have the final but it is ugly, they need to do something about it
Us doesn't need to build new stadiums for thr world cup because the US already has thr best stadiums
Lucas oil stadium ?? 70,000 over all capacity and one of the nicest stadiums in all of the nfl
There's a lot more to consider than just having a big stadium, like hotels, amenities, public transportation, and entertainment.
@@dave_dynasty And if the field has the right dimensions. Soccer pitches are wider than American football fields.
@@zyoninkirojust call it a soccer field
It’s very unique, right? Lol! SF Giants play at Levi’s? Did not know that. Lol!
The final will be in Mexico brother
No it will be in New York or Dallass
