They're all children on the DonOLD team.

The internet has been having some fun.

So even though I certainly liked it better when stadiums were named "Three Rivers" and "Candlestick Park", "Mile High" etc., it does seem that with the rise of sponsored names, that Lumen Field is, at least for the current contract the official legal name of the Seahawk's home field. Why is it they aren't using those names for the World Cup games? Surely it can't be that FIFA sees their product as non-commercial. And probably non-political? Right, that's the ticket.

And did the corporate name sponsors who paid millions for the naming rights get a vote here? ($625 million from SoFi - to be called "Los Angeles Stadium" during arguably one of the biggest events held there.)

More corruption?

Agreed. Keep calling those stadia what they once were.
Isn't funny how we progressives become conservatives?

Tradition!

No funeral will be celebrated by more people
than will his funeral. If you don't count Mao.

Or Yoko.

I read it was a FIFA requirement to host games.

Maybe The Cult will join him.

Kick Argentina Out
It is Obvious that FIFA and the referees are biased towards Lionel Messi and Argentina. Why should the rest of the world compete when the winner has already been decided? Kick Argentina out and give everyone else a fair chance.

[O Really]

I'm surprised somebody didn't think of that back in the Patriots' heyday. Won all the time, nobody outside of New England and the refs liked them, had some abrasive personalities and a sleazy owner.

It is Obvious that FIFA NFL and the referees are biased towards Lionel Messi and Argentina Tom Brady and New England. Why should the rest of the world league compete when the winner has already been decided? Kick Argentina New England out and give everyone else a fair chance.

2034 World Cup final venue to be one of world’s biggest arenas as host nation pours $26bn into project
The 2034 World Cup is part of an unprecedented investment program that will transform Saudi Arabia




King Salman Stadium is known as the ‘germinating seed’

... The tournament will be held across 15 stadiums, with eight being built from scratch, three already in progress and four current venues being renovated.

King Salman International Stadium will be the pick of the bunch.

With around 92,000 seats, it will be one of the world's biggest football stadiums, albeit considerably smaller than the one Morocco hopes will host the 2030 final.

... A royal box will hold 150 guests, with 120 hospitality suites, three hundred VIP seats, and two thousand premium spaces to allow FIFA to host plenty of dignitaries -- and likely streamers.

Sustainable cooling systems will work on the seats and the ground, with screens and indoor gardens helping to keep it cool.

The tournament will likely take place in winter -- and may even be in 2035 -- when temperatures should be comfortable enough for fans to enjoy a rooftop walking path overlooking King Abdulaziz Park.

... A sports trail over five miles long will connect the stadium and nearby park....

World’s biggest football stadium being built to battle Spain’s Bernabéu for 2030 World Cup final hosting duties
Spain and Morocco are fighting for the right to host the 2030 World Cup final.



... The 2030 edition is being held across six countries in three continents, 100 years after the iconic tournament made its debut.

... It will be able to fit 115,000 fans -- 1,000 more than North Korea's Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, which has been downgraded from the 150,000 capacity that is claimed by Kim Jong Un's dictatorship.

... With a vast surrounding district featuring gardens and the capacity for 12,000 VIP and hospitality guests, it would suit FIFA to a tee.

The government is predicted to spend just $500,000 on the project, making it a bargain in a world of billion-dollar arenas.

... It is a lofty goal, but Moroccan football is in a golden age on and off the field and will soon have the world's biggest football stadium to crow about, although India's Narendra Modi Stadium -- a cricket venue -- remains the largest for all sports with 132,000 fans able to pack in....
