I would however be concerned with the amount of games we get We don't need to build a 60k stadium. BMO can expand to 40k and no chance a game is played in the big O unless heavy renovations are done. Place is a dump The field at BMO is way too small for a World Cup game better off playing at The SkyDome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is the question mark about host cities. I don't think FIFA will want two stadiums in California used. I'd also debate if San Fran would get it over LA. For the US I would sayMetLife Stadium in NYCAT&T Stadium in Dallas (this is where the final will be so it counts as extra. Before anyone says "but Estadio Azteca" FIFA will be salivating at the posibility of 100,000 plus people attending the final)Camping World Stadium in OrlandoLos Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park (might rival AT&T for the final because 100000 people at the final)CenturyLink Field in Seattle (as a thank you Seattle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 The question is will they let us play on turf or grass. If they let us play on turf then it will almost certainly be Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Edmonton as the venues. They are all large stadiums in large metro centers with international airports and public transport. If we have to play on grass then all bets are off.

Every stadium needs to be the same. Mexico's all use grass while a lot of NFL stadiums (the most likely to be used) are all over the place. I think it'll need to be grass for the event to be held here (despite the controversy we'll see due to 2015's WWC being on turf). No matter the surface Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are locks to host for Canada, Edmonton likely will still too unless CalgaryNext comes back and has grass.

Markus Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I would expect that if games were played in Vancouver, there would be a temporary grass pitch installed at B.C. Place. I think they did that for Detroit in WC '94 and I remember the caps doing that for their match against Man City at Empire a few years back.

Guest Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I don't think we will be getting 4 stadiums. I think we would get the short end of the stick with 3 if the max amount of venues is 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I assume as part of the bid there would be some government and private money spent on upgrading soccer infrastructure. I wouldn't be surprised if money was spent on permanent or temporary grass at BC place and even a larger permanent south stand at BMO field increasing the size of the stadium to accommodate over 40,000 people.
