Speculative 🧵on AT&T Stadium (ATTS) FIFA WC bid pitch expansion options on display. #dallas2026
NFL fields are 53x120. ATTS has the surface area to allow for a full 120x80, but leaves zero room for benches, media, warm-up, corner kick, etc. A look at the suggested options:
First - ATTS, from the start, was designed and promoted as a facility with World Cup Final in mind. It was always assumed that if a WCF was to be played in it, modifications of the field level suites was required. Now to options:
*TALL OPTION* - most telling info in this pic as it sacrifices seating for space. Elevating the surface 12-15’ would allow for what has to be almost 100yd of WIDTH - more than enough for proper pitch and whatever desired for off field needs. Attendance impact later in thread.
