Thank you TexasBoi, NOVA represent! :banana:I care and I think a good part of this country will too. I would love for the world cup to return to the US.
I can see where your coming from, however, this thread is about where the stadium sites would be if the US hosted, not if they should host itHere's what I'd like to see - might be a bit far fetched, but it's what I'd like...
The USA is clearly the biggest and most powerful country in terms of hosting ability, so I'd like FIFA to hold out until 2030 and then grant the US the hosting rights for the centenary tournament.
I'd then like to see a one off increase of competing teams from the world's top 32 to the top 64 sides competing at 20 stadiums rather than 10. The tournament would only have to be lengthened by an extra few days to incorporate a 'round of 32' knock out.
This would allow Europe to have 2018, Asia to have 2022, and South America or Africa to have 2026, prior to the Yanks getting the big one. (The only problem I can see is that this would take the finals out of Europe for at least 16 years).
I know Uruguay are very keen to (part)host 2030, in commemoration of them hosting the first finals, but even with Argentina as a partner, I can't see them being able to match what the USA could come up with.
No, actually all three of those stadiums have been designed to host a soccer gameYou can take the new Cowboys stadium off that list, the field is going to be made at dimensions that wont allow soccer play, same could be said for U of P stadium and new New York Stadium. These new stadium are being built with the crowd closer to the field, making it to narrow for soccer.
Not that I know of. Remember that the final in 1994 was played at the Rose Bowl, a stadium with only one bowl-style seating tier and no roof, much like Lambeau Field in Green Bay, but bigger. The opening ceremony and match in 1994 was played at (old) Soldier Field in Chicago, which was also a one-seating-tier stadium. Only one of the venues was an indoor stadium, IIRC it was the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI. They had to haul in a temporary grass field for the World Cup matches.Isn't it mandatory to have a roof?
No its only encouragedIsn't it mandatory to have a roof?
Yep, I understand, but my suggestion is relevent in that I am putting forward the notion of twice as many venues (something which only the US could handle)... Thus - the selection of host cities is widened allowing a great number of venues to be discussed (showed off).I can see where your coming from, however, this thread is about where the stadium sites would be if the US hosted, not if they should host it
It's mandatory for the VIP/Media sections to have a roof, the paying supporters can get soaked or sunburnt, FIFA don't care.Isn't it mandatory to have a roof?
FedEx Field will be replaced by 2022, Snyder already wants to move the team right now to a brand new facility where RFK Stadium is. :cheers:
Listen to someone who lives in Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys new Stadium in Arlington Texas will not have the dimensions for soccer. trust me, its been discussed, its planned for better things then soccer.No, actually all three of those stadiums have been designed to host a soccer game

Designs have changed around the field. Besides, let reliant in Houston host it, They already did a bad enough job when they hosted USA vs Mexico and didn't let in ANY USA fans.http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/121206dnmetnewstadium.37128e0.html
I dont believe for a second that there isnt any interest in Dallas to host a soccer match
