People travelling from other countries are about to find out just how car-dependent everything in America is. Almost every stadium is outside of its city and everyone is expected to drive there so it has an enormous parking lot several times bigger than the stadium itself.
My thoughts exactly. I can already imagine a lot of frustrated fans sitting in traffic for hours.
At least Seattle, Philly, and Atlanta have good transit connections and New York and Boston have...usable connections
I was looking for this comment!
I wonder if cities such as Houston, Dallas or Kansas City would implement some kind of public transit in their cities or attempt to fix their horrible urban planning issues for the event, like what Salt Lake City did with the 2002 olympics (they built light rail and the frontrunner to serve primarily the venue and now they're extensive transit systems that serve everyone and get better as time goes on).
@@sygneg7348 Good idea! Houston's stadium is currently served by a light rail stop; Dallas is highly unlikely since Arlington isn't part of DART and has no interest; Kansas City would be amazing, they have rail lines already pretty nearby the stadium
@@gautam0826 Philly has semi good transit. It’s the locals Tourists should be worried about LoL
The biggest significance I see is that even though some of the stadiums will need renovations, after the big event they won't sit idle.
Good point. That's why the 1994 World Cup to this day was the least expensive World Cup to ever have been put on. It costs the US (whether federal or state or county or city etc...) a combined total of about $500 million.
@stv1 200 billion +
Just it should have been from the beginning, this would have been a great place to also start train infrastructure for those stadiums
@stv1 ?
@@Konformation07 It's cause US don't spend a lot.
Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Modric...hard to imagine a world cup without those legends...I feel empty.
but Neymar is 30, he can easily play another world cup
@@micsgreen23 he said that qatar WC might be his last, and the reason being is that "his mental capacity to continue playing football isn't enough" so if that doesn't mean he's retiring idk what is.
@@rir0_r he MIGHT. He said it, you said it.
@@micsgreen23 he can, but he won’t
@@micsgreen23 Messi will retire after winning world cup in Qatar. Neymar is younger I think its Brazil turn & time for them to win in WC 2026 after Argentina. Time will tell
As an Englishman, the stadiums look awesome and the World Cup is worth getting excited about. Four years late is better than never.
Hopefully, England will go to this WC, they were sorely missed in 94!
There is no football culture here. And the distances are immense. Russia was criticized bc supposedly the country was too big even though they put all the stadiums in the western part of the country. That won't be the case here. Why should they already get a second World Cup? There is not even any good public transport system here.
@@luperamos7307 I sympathise but public transport will probably have to be provided to stadiums as part of the deal with FIFA. With other infrastructure already there is a little stadium repurposing costs and the trains will be improved.
@@luperamos7307 Uhhh the public transport in the US is no worse than across-border public transport in Europe. Also, the distances are so far that to go from the East Coast to the West Coast it's just as fast as rail to drive along the interstates (i80, i30, or i20). And the US-Mexico border is so tight that there's no point in watching games in both countries; it's such a hassle to get over the border, so you basically either stay in the US and watch the games that are played there or you stay in Mexico and only watch the games that are played there.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 So how can you even have countries join that have such a tight border? And the public transport is far worse in the US. Some guy even make videos about it. And the Olympics usually have that as a requirement, which is why many cities always built subways when they had the Olympics. For some reason that doesn't apply to Los Angeles. And for Fifa it used to be similar. You also assume that people can just easily pay to travel these huge distances. You basically would need to fly bc not even a rental car would help you cover those huge distances. And when you fly and stay in a city for 3 days you are probably better off using public transport, which doesn't really exist. I live in L.A. and you can't get anywhere without a car. Just to reach the lame subway here I have to drive 30 minutes by car. Then I have to take it 40 minutes in the wrong direction before connecting to go where I want to go and take another 40 plus minutes. They couldn't just build it straight and there aren't many lines. Freeways are always expanded and they basically resemble giant parking lots during rush hour. How fans should pay the prices here I don't know either. It's clear that only a very small segment of fans can afford this and cover those distances. It's basically a World Cup for people who live here and may have family here, which many Mexicans do.
2026 World Cup looks insane, Maybe it will be the first time to see a World Cup live, God willing
For me as well god willing indeed
same as my city will be hosting some games
Same, I live in D.C which will have some fan fests and not too far from Philly to watch a game
i live in vancouver so i can to go games in seattle and vancouver
I live in Delaware so I could likely drive up to Philadelphia for a few games. I’m looking forward to the possibility.
Nice finally having countries that don’t have to build all new stadiums
But likely have to rebuild the infrastructure regardless because of the amount of visitors coming..
That´s true!
@@nova_verse6284 they have hosted WC before. They can handle it.
No, they just need to redesign like 90% of them because they were made for American football.
@@nova_verse6284 you spend 1/8th of what it would cost to build a stadium making the ones you have pretty.
2022 WC: You may attend the world cup in one city
2026 WC: You may attend in a whole continent
I lived in the us and it’s gonna be hard to travel every single day.
2026 will be the first (and probably the only one in history) edition to celebrate a soccer world cup on an entire continent, and in turn, the edition with the largest territorial size to date (approximately 22,000 million km2).
Great job. Enjoyed the very informative video. Thank you for you’re work.
The 2026 World Cup will no doubt be one of, if not the biggest sporting event in Human History. It could also work as a foundation to form better relations between Mexico, Canada, and the USA.
These three countries already have excellent relations
I mean that applies to every World Cup 2030 will be the next biggest sporting event after this one
@@ruilin9944 Nope the 1994 World Cup still holds records for attendance, TV/streaming viewership on the other hand keeps going up though
@@nctsgrass the 1994 World Cup still holds records for attendance so it's not necessarily true

lol
oh dude, wait till you get to stadiums in outside of the 2026 host
American Stadium are cool
@@emanuelvasquez3380 American stadiums are better
You should check out the TH-cam channel Wide World of Stadiums.
It will be cool if the semifinal games are in Canada and Mexico, symbolizing different sides of the bracket and then they meet in the middle the U.S. for the world cup final.
Thank you for this 👍
Tremendously insane stadiums and 48 teams.
The 2026 World Cup has everything to be best in history. Let’s focus on doing a good job as hosts! 🇲🇽
Azteca should have more important matches
48 teams will dilute the quality but of course it will make FIFA more money. Quite ridiculous. Just the way the 24 team European Championship has ruined what used to be the best and most competitive competition in international football.
I doubt it. The group stages in these format are way more interesting
@@rl9legend770 3 teams can now qualify from groups in the European Championships, even with the lower caliber of competition they just need draws. The group stages are almost certainly not more interesting. The tournament is worse now. The proposal for the World Cup with 48 teams is like 16 groups of three and then a next round of about 32. Just insane to change a winning formula.
48 teams is ludicrous. With 32, there are teams who have absolutely no hope of winning the tournament or advancing beyond the group (Canada, Qatar as the clearest examples from the current tournament). What's the point of throwing in 16 more no-hopers?
Nice to see the C.U.M zone are hosting 2026
Hhhh nice one
😫
Ayyy 🤙🏻
Thank you for sharing cheers 🥂
Very informative. Thanks ❤
Mexico has held the best best 2 world cups of all time .. 1970 and 1986 were fantastic world cups ... unbeatable for atmosphere. football brilliance...
I liked the South Africa world cup
Brazil and Russia are the best world cups so far
@Rockonorrea they were good. Def up there imo I agree with fensterpitzernuernberg
@@Rockonorrea Russia WC was so boring to me personally
The final should be held at the Azteca
Way to go Mexico, USA & Canada! Can’t wait for the World Cup 2026!!! Bring it! ⚽️
Lol Canada stadiums are a joke
Are the US media going to discuss the human rights abuses of the US like they did for Qatar?
@Caleb you will not be killed for criticism of the government. But that is a cultural thing. .
The usa media doesn't cover it because there is no money in it for them.
@@caleb9231 no since america has enormous amounts of stadia to hold major events easily and doesnt have to build new ones like qatar
@@caleb9231 They should, shouldnt they!
USA stadium are good , but there is a huge distance between each stadium, it will be so challenging for a supporter to watch enough game for different teams
Qatar world cup was a successful experience where you could watch the 4 daily games in the same day ! Without missing the vibes of the tournament where everything is gathered in a small area , Supporters from all around the world cheering in the same place this was unique
Difficult for the players too
those are Football stadiums not Soccer ones
NFL Stadiums are designed like Airplanes seats, but instead Regular, Business and First Class Seats, it's Normal, Club Seats, and Suites. So much profit is made from the Suites that all newer NFL Stadiums are loaded with them. Wealthy Americans are distributed across the country and the idea of decentralizing the game is to hit the local markets. Average Americans tend to spend a lot for 1-2 NFL games a year, if the NFL played every day the tickets would be worth much less, same with soccer. Since there is only 6-8 games in each city, their going to make a lot of money per game relative to having the entire tournament in one city.
@@RIfMlLVrdhpPYbHCcTqjnEFGgNyKku you know before reading your comment I was dead stuck on thinking that it was a dumb idea for the world cup to be hosted in so many different cities now that you really think about it you would definitely make more profit having in multiple citys rather then one.
Let's not forget the prices for plane tickets and accommodation, plus the heat in summer in both USA and Mexico.
That Monterey stadium views though ❤ also the sofi stadium looks pretty cool
Awesome. This is how all World Cups should be hosted. Using existing stadiums and not overburdening countries in having to build new venues.
It's just like one of co-worker told another co-worker bought a huge new condo , i say no no i will stay in apartment because why do we have to build apartment and condo are same, where inner heart I can't afford to buy
@@zdeenrdeen3278 that doesn't make any sense
Do not agree. Most of these stadiums will have to renovate some stuff and so spend millions of dollars on that. That being said, some stadiums built for the world cup are really helping the development of the sports in the region where they belong, which in my opinion is great.
@williamr.r.6440 well, you're wrong. When countries don't have working sewer systems, they should not be building stadiums that will not be used for much after the world cup.
@@williamr.r.6440 yeah but minor modifications is nothing to build a the whole dam stadium
The amount of huge stadiums in the U.S.A is insane.
They're actually not that huge because most of them were made for stupid american football only.
@@HerotsLament what’s even funnier is that a majority of these stadiums aren’t even that big compared to college football stadiums which a good portion go over 100k capacity.
@@HerotsLamentamerican football is not stupid, i think its pretty good, i love both football and american football
@@drewcason2429 there are even some absolutely giant high school football stadiums down in texas too
@@HerotsLament how does that not make them big?
Amazing to see that all the 2026 WC stadiums are already built. My favorite ones are Atlanta, San Francisco and the Azteca stadium for its history in the World Cup.
The public transport system is also absolutely amazing in the US. And the distances as well. From NY to L.A. it won't take long and won't cost much. I'm glad it's such a football culture.
@@luperamos7307 Lmaoo
@@luperamos7307 public transport in the US is pretty shit outside of a few places ngl
@@goomy9966 Yep, and even in the cities that have robust systems, they are great at getting people to THE CENTER of the city, and little else.
European systems are far more decentralized, to the benefit of the suburbs and suchlike.
@@luperamos7307 man your funny 🤣
Atlanta for being a city that is rarely mentioned for public transportation actually looks like one of the best in the US options. Right there in downtown, walkable from many of the hotels and a short MARTA ride if one were to stay in Buckhead or Midtown areas. Atlanta is going to be an incredible host city.
While you can walk in that area, it’s not recommended. Atlanta is not a safe city.
@@notanotherone5564 Obviously the cities in Mexico are much safer! /s
@@akdec0092 “Obviously” everyone knows Mexico isn’t safe. Not many people know that Atlanta isn’t quite safe either.
I’d be happy to break this down for you further if you’re having trouble understanding this point /s
@@notanotherone5564 yeah, same for Philly, foreigners are gonna have to watch out, same for LA too honestly,
@@notanotherone5564true. Although looking at past World Cup’s I wouldn’t be surprised if security around downtown Atlanta(as well as the other host cities) is heavily heightened during the World Cup as a way to prevent fans from going after eachother
As an American, who also loves soccer/football, I am very excited for World Cup 2026.
If any fans, who do not live in North America, especially America, you will need to understand how vast the countries are. It is commonly said that in Europe, if you take a train for 4 hours, you might have been through 5 different countries. However in the US, 4 hours in the US might have taken you one State over, or maybe none. The American Public Transportation system is very, very underdeveloped sadly. You will need to either arrange a rental car, or a ride share. The size of the US is an understatement. Please do not think you can hit LA, NYC, Miami, Dallas, and Chicago all in 1 or 2 days, unless you fly.
well said my friend. I love the idea of 3 hosts but the vast distance and how much time and money will be needed to get from 1 city to another is simply overwhelming.
Agreed. Travelers will likely decide to either just visit Mexico, canada, US East coast, US west coast, or central US.
@@xywa23 The USA Mexico border alone would stretch from Portugal to the baltics, so expecting to go from Mexico City to Toronto, (almost double the distance,) in rapid time is ill informed.
@@viewer-of-content read my comment again and then read what you wrote 😂
@@xywa23 i did read it. I should have read my own instead of getting lost in speed . I meant to agree that Mexico, Canada, and the USA are each as large or larger than European distances. So any three state tournament will be most enjoyable telivised, and impossible all live in person. I Actually wish that FIFA could do an All Nations World cup sometime though. With each USA NFL stadium being World Cup Capacity, and 25 NCAA Tackle Football Stadiums being close to capacity, (American Tackle Football and FIFA football stadiums are like the same size, except different goal shapes.) A free for all Olympic style back to back innitial qualifier would be so cool. Like FIFA March Madness would be cool. More teams + betting pools always equal more fun at a sports bar style party.
It doesn't matter what everyone says, this tournament will be the biggest sporting event ever organized.
The NFL, MLB. even the Olympics will dwarf compared with this competition.
Soccer/football is the ONLY sport in which the resulting winners are true World Champions.
And as a native of this Northern part of the continent, and knowing the cultural environment of Americans, Mexicans and Canadians this is set to be the greatest party our planet earth has seen in recent years.
I'm so ready!
I'm glad you say that, in Vancouver, I have yet hearing the local stating soccer is their favorite sports, rather they always tell me, soccer is only for kids and women, a sissy sports. Therefore I never support Canada base on that reason
@@ericwang1036 you do you mate, and if soccer is not your cup of tea good for you and stay on you comfy lane.
There's a reason why the MLS is growing in North America and although I'm not Canadian but when Toronto got the tittle I really enjoyed it.
@@healthdios MLS
I like your optimism but when you said it doesn't matter what everyone says, that includes what you said lol
How are winners in the Olympics not "true" world champions if the whole world competes? Also I think calling NBA/MLB/NFL winners world champions is a bit weird, but it makes sense. The best player's in the world come here to play in those leagues, therefore the winning team is truly the best in the world. The same wouldn't be true for leagues like MLS obviously.
U got me hooked with this video and don’t worry I just subscribed and like the video and turned on the bell icon
Thank you for video.
Sofi stadium is something else. Best of the best.
We want the final there!!
The final should definitely be there it only makes sense for more reasons than one
It's a great stadium but "climate controlled" my @$$! I went to an American football game there this past September during a heat wave. Five billion dollars and not one air conditioner in the joint!
final should be in mexico in that historical stadium. everyone would love to play where maradona won the world cup. american stadiums are generic. bigger isnt always better. plus theres mass shootings there so not safe and if you're injured they'll rob you dry.
@@oriplaydirty No I think that the final should be in either Dallas or New York
Estadio Azteca should at least host a semi-final. It is the most historic stadium of all of these.

@@Nihilanth1982 Firstly, the homicide rate in Mexico is much higher than the US. Secondly, it's very unlikely they play the final in Mexico because it's a much smaller country.
Actually some stadiums can host both american football and football/soccer as well and no need for any further renovation... That's why US is one of only few countries that can host the world cup on a short notice as they have many stadiums that are large enough to host world cup games
All of them can accomodate a soccer pitch without major modification. The only stadium that needs changes to meet FIFA standards is Kansas City.
True …..they are all well maintained 24x7 USA 🇺🇸
We have MLS! Those soccer teams already play in most of these venues! They just have to abide by FIFA rules now.
I wish Nashville had gotten selected. Already proven we can host massive events (NFL Draft, Stanley Cup, etc), and the USMNT plays here pretty regularly
@@inconnu4961 tiiiiiinnnyyyyy
The infrastructure that these 3 countries have is incredible, they don't have to build new ones, maybe remodel some.
And they can still afford to leave out other venues such as the Las Vegas stadium, Montreal, Cuauhtémoc stadium, Corona stadium or Caliente stadium. Simply incredible!
USA is using Football stadiums not Soccer ones
Among the three counrties, Canada is the poorest and least impressive. Only two places to play. Shame.
@@mark72141 Unlike the US having stadiums for football and Mexico having stadiums for soccer, Canada doesn't have much interest in either those sports (not saying that we don't have interest in them but it is not like the US or Mexico), huge stadiums were never really needed. Also where else would the World Cup games take place? Moose Jaw? Canada doesn't have a lot of large cities, Vancouver and Toronto are the best options (you could also make an argument for Montreal but it is being used for something else).
@@mark72141 Soccer/football is most widely considered an inexpensive-to-play children's or amateur sport in the US and Canada. Expensive facilities aren't built for professional sports that can't crack the top 5 list (American football, baseball, basketball, golf, hockey, tennis, etc. are far more popular).

@@Slo-ryde I mean most of those stadiums also have MLS teams like in Gillet. Idk if they are fifa standard but you could take out a few rows.
Good for Mexico's stadiums, a lot of them haven't seen significant upgrades since they last hosted the World Cup in 86'.
Only Azteca was built during those last 2 WC, Akron and BBVA are relatively new
The ones in Guadalajara and Monterrey are *NEW*
Two are new except Aztec stadium and they r building more for there local teams that are going to be world class for world cups as well
You are so wrong!!! New stadium Akron, BBVA and Aztecs is getting a make over
The Akron in Guadalajara and BBVA in Monterrey are fairly new. Estadio Azteca from México City will be getting renovations. Shopping mall included, apparently

Nice vid. Thanks for the info. Hopefully I’ll still be around in 2026 to enjoy this event.
This was great to know! Can’t wait to be at those Dallas and Houston games!!! 😁
Qatar WC is special, it has something that no other country ever had. All the matches and fans are within a small radius. You can see almost every fan who came to the event, you will not miss anything or any event. You will feel the vibes 24/7 as you can’t walk away from groups and gatherings of fans.
I’m just imagining when I’m going to 2026 WC, i will have to choose one or two cities only to watch couple matches, which is not ideal, i want to be able to attend my favorite team. For example, if I’m in Canada and got one ticket to watch my team, then that team will qualify to round of 24 by next week in U.S., i will have to get a visa, hotel room and plane ticket to catch up with my team. And that’s just one person watching two games.
You can say whatever you want, but Qatar2022 has it’s own advantages.

Go big or go home as Americans say. On a serious note, this is brilliant, lets hope American citizens gets more excited about football due to this and subsequently see American football (soccer) rise and bring us much joy like the English Premier League, Seria A, Bundesliga and so forth. You definitely have the resources! Those amazing university facilities & infrastructure can make you No.1 in the world’s favourite sport!

I am very excited about this and think moving to venues that will not require building new stadiums, like was required for this recent World Cup, makes the most sense. All of these cities have the needed hotel space as well to handle the crowds. IMO, the WC should be alternated between Europe and the US/Canada/Mexico locations with every third WC going to some other location in the world. I am a little over 5 miles from Dallas and 3 hours from Kansas City, so should be able to make some of the games.
Que Dieu bénisse l'amérique du Nord 🇨🇦
Que Dios bendiga la América del Norte 🇲🇽
May God bless North America 🇺🇸
👍👍👍
AT&T stadium in DFW, Texas is a dope. Great atmosphere and a huge stadium. Can’t wait to watch a soccer game there
Can't wait, I live close to one of these locations.
Это будет грандиозное событие и невероятный фестиваль любителей футбола!
Даст Бог, во всех уголках нашей планеты будет МИР!
❤️❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺
Yes
Can’t wait! 🎉
I can already tell this is gonna be one of the greatest world cups that people will always look back to
I'm also thinking the same
The stadiums of the USA looking super cool tho🤩🤩
Till United States wins its first fifa trophy 🏆
@CSS Nobody cares about you 🙄
@@franklinshaki9 I think the changes of any non European/south American teams winning the cup very unlikely in the near future.
@@rafael_lana it’s just getting started my friend trust me when team USA men’s soccer team unleashed there change there not going to joke around anymore for the next 4 years trust me they will win there first fifa trophy or even more then just one and win gold medals
Yep, I'm 100% flying over to America for this one! Come on ENGLAND!!!
I am so happy we are hosts to the world cup!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I am extremely surprised allegiant stadium in Vegas wasn't selected. Not only is it the newest stadium built, but Vegas alone could hold every team and their supporters easily
Read the comment section, this was discussed! LV removed their bid
Right or Phoenix or chicago
@@inconnu4961 I wonder why..
The LV stadium is beyond beautiful, it beats SoFi for me by miles 🔥 kinda wish they did soldier field instead of arrowhead stadium tho
@@EldePHX Chicago has both Soldier Field and Seat Geek Stadium, unfortunately the then mayor didn't like how fifa was so coy when it came to talking about finances so they pulled out.
As a Club America fan those images made me exited for our stadium
@@IntellectuallySuperior2U can’t deny sofi is the best
Interesting stadiums 🎉
This is going to be the most extraordinary World Cup ever. It is exciting, we must prepare to go to some games.
I am so happy for Canada and Mexico, usa
Trivia: Washington, D.C and Ottawa will be the 2nd and 3rd national capitals of the World Cup host countries that don't host any World Cup. The first one is Tokyo.
I'm pretty sure the capital of West Germany didn't host any games either.
@@hirambright9357 Yes, you're right. My mistake. So 1st is Bonn (1974), 2nd Tokyo (2002), 3rd and 4th are D.C and Ottawa (2026).
what about mexico city
@@astralmax5163 already hosted two world cup final. And more.
As an American NFL fan I'm so glad Washington DC didn't get a game. That stadium is cursed
I’m not American and say what you will about their football (soccer) talent, but they have really nice stadiums for the NFL and NCAA. I’m excited to see world cup games in these massive stadiums!!
Great👍🏻
I’m so excited for this World Cup!! From the Bay Area so I will definitely go to the San Jose and LA games, maybe even Seattle too! The Seattle Stadium looks amazing!
Carpool? Lol, I'm in san jose next to lightrail so every game at levis is mine to watch.
Good luck gettings man. Oh you thought they were going to be easy?
@@IMP3TIGO huh?
Good luck trying to get tickets. Levi stadium might get a couple of matches in the Round of 16, doubt they'd get a "Brazil" level team though. The East coast will get the big teams.
@@67Pepper idc who’s playing, I just want to go see a wc match
Nicely done and informative. Just can't help but notice you forgot The New England Revolution also play at Gillette Stadium
I know! What an oversight!
Nice mix of indoor and outdoor , verrrrry good 👌
I live in Houston this will be very exciting but also annoying because traffic 😂 but im here for it!!
looking forward to this excited event again in 3.5 years, cant wait!a big party for all football fans, football unites human being!
This event might break the record for the most televised event in history. The current record holder is the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup!
really?
@@MyDadsTH-cam I think the America Algeria game probably got the whole United States alone so I’m not surprised
One of the best WC in my opinion. That I’ve been able to watch.
I can smell the 2026 protesting coming
Sorry, but if the world is freaking out over Qatar hosting due to various human rights violations then they should be doing so for the US. I mean just look at what Reddit says FFS. The US is a sh*thole that murders Black folks, kills children in schools and puts brown kids in cages. We should start protesting loudly and clearly NOW so we can get it moved to somewhere else. Just think about how many foreigners will be gunned down by Republicans upset that foreigners are "taking over their country". It makes me shudder just thinking about it.
When talking about Gillette Stadium, you could’ve probably added that it is home to the New England Revolution as well, since you were listing MLS teams on other stadiums. Otherwise, great video👍🏼.
2:30 NY/NJ Gotham FC at MetLife Stadium
Beautiful to watch the world 🌎 cup..
Very excited to watch my first every Worldcup live. I live in Bay Area so I wish to see games at Levis stadium and also Sofi in LA.
Me too 🇺🇸
I will be in Canada or USA by then God willing...all the best to USA Canada and Mexico...Ahmed from Ghana..
Hell yeah bro excited for you to come here!!
Damm bro, you got a bag huh
@@joseph_manero can i have your watsap contact?
@@ahmedissahabdul-mumin8630 Why did you beat Korea :(
@@TurkishYoung07 They are good, arent they! The US has lost to them a few times! We know Ghana!
They will have a game in Boston!!! I live there and am so excited about going this
To those who wonder if they need to depend on cars to travel to these stadiums:
Gilette, Boston - Foxboro Station
Metlife, NJ - Meadowlands Sports Complex Station
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia - NRG Station
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta - GWCC Station
Hard rock stadium, Miami - Bus stop
Arrowhead stadium, Kansas City - bus stop (future KC light rail)
AT&T Stadium, Dallas - shuttle bus from Bell Station
NRG Stadium, Houston - astrodome station
Sofi Stadium, Los Angeles - shuttle from Inglewood station, (future light rail)
Levi’s Stadium, San Jose - Great america station
Lumen Field, Seattle - Stadium station
Most of them is connected to a rail-based transit. The ones that don’t have, we’ll see how the state officials address them
Viva México! 🇲🇽
God Bless the USA! 🇺🇸
And Fuck Canada ?
Canada's pretty cool too lol 🇨🇦
I'm American but go Mexico and Canada, hopefully one the three countries win the world cup for the whole north American continent.
Edit: Nvm bruh they out, good luck to Ochoa cos I don't think he gonna be playing in 2026
@@nevets2371 Of course lol
@@nevets2371 There’s like 10 people in Canada nobody give af
Really looking forward to seeing a game in Toronto, worried about the ticket prices though, I bet they'll be insane.
Scalpers and bots will buy all the tickets on Ticketmaster the second they are listed online
@@adamjoss1515 Yep, so good luck lol. I will be watching it, instead of going, don't like the chaos lol. Although the only one closes to me will be the one in Seattle, so I might go to that one instead lol.
I’m excited do this tournament, unfortunately, BMO Field is a joke compared to the American stadiums
@@sirepic04 yeah, is the rogers centre too small to be converted into a soccer field? because that would’ve made for a far better stadium
Bmo field kinda disappoints after seeing other stadiums ngl
Good and informative video about the stadiums. At 7:39 you forgot to say that there'll be also played some of the round of 32 games
in Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽.
This elimination round will be new introduced. Therefore there'll be 2 group games only in a group of 3 teams in 16 groups from A to P of the 48. participating teams.
Thanks for the video!
Just an FYI, BMO Field is pronounced "BeeMo" Field.
I 👍 Estadio Azteca in Mexico City ! VIVA 🇲🇽! Peter Streiff (Suizo-Mexicano 🇨🇭🇲🇽)
Haha, love the Revolution erasure when you talk about Gillette Stadium.
I’ve been waiting my whole life to go I’m definitely going!
Azteca has the legacy, great they included it.. Monterrey stadium with that mountain in the background wow
It will be a great World cup. The stadiums looks so beautiful and modern. I loved the world cup USA'94, i was 13, for me probably the best world cup ever!!
In mexico only bud
What? It was the most boring. No atmosphere there.
@@luperamos7307 i think the rose bowl stadium in 1994 was better
@@luperamos7307 94 World Cup still holds the record for highest total attendance at 3.57 million, and highest average attendance at 68,626. WTF are you talking about?!?
I think Canada got kinda shafted on this one. Regina has one of the nicest stadiums in Canada (and a bigger capacity than BMO field). I can understand Regina not being picked, because they probably don't expect the city to handle the large influx of tourists, but we have other cities like Montreal (Olympic stadium is MASSIVE) or Edmonton/Calgary who have hosted World Cup games before.
Montreal took out their bid for the world cup
And soccer is huge in Canada, growing faster than hockey, as is doesn't require as much expensive equipment to play, plus a large population of newcomers to Canada from countries where soccer is the top sport.
edit: how many times are people going to reply to this old comment with the exact same reply, lol
I think Montreal or Edmonton should've been picked over Toronto. Calgary has a shit stadium and is an embarrassment for a city of its size!
agree ,toronto's stadium doesn't look good enough for a world cup
Being from here in Regina, the transit system is not suited enough to hold that much spectators or tourist coming into the city for such a huge event. Though CFL games have designated transit but for park and rides at malls or downtown parkades. The stadium is the only thing going for Regina, at least Toronto and Vancouver has its greater metropolitan area to do other stuff than just the World Cup games. That’s why most transit systems like the Montreal Metro was created and the temporary Vancouver Streetcar for their Olympics.
For out of country and out of staters going to games in Houston, the Houston metro rail red line takes you directly to the stadium.
LA's So Fi stadium is incredible! Anyone would be the luckiest to ever see and visit it!
true lets hope they dont get mugged by homeless people though, if youre a foreigner traveling to America for the world cup: AVOID CALIFORNIA!!!!!! Arrowhead stadium is the place you want to go. way cheaper and way less homeless people. L.A. is disgusting
Who the hell builds $4bn on a stadium that still has to cope with the weather? It can't be used if there's lightning within 8 miles and the wind is a serious factor that has to be contended with by NFL kickers!
Estadio BBVA is a beauty.
What will be more interesting is how many stadiums already have a lot of infrastructure built up around them, restaurants, hotels, shopping centers. Because at least in the US a lot of the NFL stadiums are not in the middle of cities, but a bit of a drive outside of them.
Im saving it for it now
US stadiums damn , sickkk🤩
