Venues

Arrowhead Stadium

Midwest heat with occasional storms. Strong crowd atmosphere — one of the louder venues.

AT&T Stadium

Retractable roof — if open, extreme Texas heat drains pressing intensity. Closed conditions favor possession teams.

BC Place Stadium

BMO Field

Smallest pitch of the tournament. Compact dimensions favor defensive teams and limit wide play. Tight touchlines create natural pressing traps.

Estadio Banorte

Estadio BBVA Bancomer

Gillette Stadium

New England weather variability. Cooler than southern venues, suits energy-intensive pressing styles.

Hard Rock Stadium

Extreme humidity punishes high-pressing systems. Late-game fatigue factor is the highest of all venues.

Levi's Stadium

Dry California conditions suit technical passing teams. Low humidity maintains energy levels.

Lincoln Financial Field

Open-air stadium with variable wind. Balanced conditions — no significant tactical bias.

Lumen Field

Cool Pacific Northwest conditions ideal for high-pressing teams. Famously loud — crowd factor significant.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Retractable roof creates controlled environment. Slight altitude effect — negligible but favors fit squads.

MetLife Stadium

Wide pitch favors transition play. High humidity reduces pressing sustainability beyond 70 minutes.

NRG Stadium

Retractable roof stadium. Houston heat and humidity make sustained pressing costly when roof is open.

SoFi Stadium

Indoor-outdoor hybrid with controlled climate. Consistent conditions favor technical teams.
