How America Is Transforming an 82,000 Seat NFL Stadium for World Cup 2026

Horrendous location for a World Cup Final....

Hope this ground will not fail. Hope the grass would have grab the soil firmly.

বাংলাদেশের নেতারা চোরি করে টাকা বিদেশে নিয়ে যাবে

We hope this worldcup fails big time

lol, intense atmosphere that NFL is known for. Is he joking? The NFL is one of the most drawn out, boring, and inconsistent game ever. Soccer is one the most intense sport of them all and far intense than the NFL. Basketball is more intense than the NFL but still not as intense as football because up to the last second most times in football the game has to be played out.

How did they do it? $ 😊

Very interesting. Thanks for going deep into detail putting it together!

should mentioned Singapore stadium, West Ham stadium, as illustration 07:27

One of the reasons tickets were priced at thousands of dollars. Idiots.

"to preserve the intense atmosphere that American football is known for" said no one ever

Football🙃🙂soccer😂

It's crazy how much work goes into turning an NFL stadium into a FIFA one. Removing over 1,700 seats just to fit the pitch is no small thing. Do you think it was worth it for the final or should they have just picked a stadium built for soccer from the start?

Transformation? All they did was resod it 😂

🫩😭 this is gunna be embarrassing. We aren't a soccer place and that's ok we just aren't into soccer why are we pretending?! 🤣

In spite of all that, I'm sure the field is still going to be too narow and too lousy with seams affecting the play.

No entiendo cómo ese estadio de mierda puede ser el estadio de la final de una copa del mundo de fútbol, en Europa no podría albergar una final de un mundial de fútbol, no cumple con un mínimo de características, todas las gradas al aire libre, VERGONZOSO, tiene que haber muchos dolares por detrás para haber sobornado a la FIFA y que haya bajado sus estándares... 😒

They've been doing this in every other part of the world for about a decade

Imagine if the NFL listened to their players 😂

Imagine listening to FIFA and not your own players

Not very forward thinking when they decided to build MetLife Stadium!… They should have built it as such that both football and soccer can be played in that stadium and they should’ve built a retractable roof over it!

how you can play professional sport on plastic grass is beyond any common sense.

Why do you show stadiums that have nothing to do with this video and you can’t even use images properly some are mirror images. 🤦🏻

What a waste. All the money that’s going into hosting this event is crazy (just like the Olympics). And this isn’t something that’s needed for use of the stadium going forward it’s for one month only. Crazy.

I’m sure the taxpayers will be paying for it all.

Stopped watching less than 1/2 through. So frustrating that you keep showing other stadiums that have nothing to do with metlife.
It just a collage of stadiums from around the world. Know where do you show what they did to Metlife Stadium.

You keep saying in the NFL the seats are tightly close to the field and say that they had to move the seats away for FIFA requirements. That's misleading. In the Premier League the seats are much closer to the field than any NFL stadium. The reason the seats were pulled out was not because soccer wants it, it's because of the shape of the stadium.

FIFA operates like Formula 1. The host cities pay for them to show and they also get to keep the vast majority of the revenue generated. Why? Because they're allowed to get away with it. Eventually cities will tell them to f-off. Until then, they'll keep fleecing everyone.

FIFA is under investigation for organized crime and ticket scamming !! The "crowds" will never materialize and they know it !! It's a scam that's been busted !!! This is all AI Fake video !!!!!!!!!!! BUSTED !!

This is AI crap with the same AI narrator. I have heard hundreds of times and I'm tired of them.

Your using pictures from another stadium in England, a club called MK Dons in Milton Keynes

This would be a fire grow op

What a waste of time and money. Seems like they dont give a damn about NFL players safety. That was mighty nice of FIFA.

What a frigging waste of money. Who's paying for all of this, not only for Metlife stadium, what about all the other stadiums in the US and Canada?

Ya Cristo viene por su iglesia, la tribulacion esta apunto de empezar en el mundo, para mi este es el ultimo mundial

Everyone is asking who's paying for it. Let's not forget America campaigned to host the World Cup.

アメリカ派世界一の借金大国ですが、世界中が米ドルを買うシステムを構築しスタジアム大国として破壊と新築を繰り返すことが可能です。

The most important of this story is not covered. How much is the total bill for all this? Who is paying for this? Is FIFA paying for any of it? Is all the revenue going to directly FIFA? FIFA = the fleecing of America.

Who the hell is paying for all that?

America is another level, incrideble!

#1 - Why are putting this in the past tense when it is still about 53 days before the WC finals -- and they haven't put in the natural turf yet?? And
#2 - So this is what will sort of happen at SoFi in Los Angeles both for 2026 use and become the Swimming venue for LA28 Olympic Games wherein they will put the 50m Olympic pool crosswise against one end of SoFi. They will need to carve out and extra 5m so that the Olympic pool could have 5.0m and 3.0m clearances on both ends of the pool.

اسواء كاس العالم ف التاريخ ويتحدثون عن هاذا كأنه إنجاز وهي دليل انه فشل ف الاستضافه

Turning an NFL stadium into a World Cup venue feels like America inviting soccer over and suddenly realizing it needs a much bigger living room. Watching engineers redesign an 82,000-seat stadium for the world’s biggest tournament almost feels like preparing a giant stage for humanity’s loudest family reunion.

Nice❤❤❤❤
