As per the podcaster, the three big stadiums from the three big cities of the USA are the best option for the grand event. First comes the MetLife Stadium from NYC located in the heart of the USA. The city has quality infrastructure and ample facilities to accommodate guests, making it a commercial giant as well. However, the MetLife Stadium is an outdoor space, so summer thunderstorms can hinder the game, which becomes a major setback. The comfort levels of audiences are a deciding factor.
FIFA is reportedly deciding between three cities to host the 2026 Men's World Cup Final:
1. New York City
2. Los Angeles

Speaking of the comfort level of audiences, nothing beats the $5 Billion So-Fi Stadium in Los Angeles. Yet there are setbacks to this stadium. Not only does the location not fit the minimum 80,000 seat criteria, but its floor plan is also not designed to be a full-sized soccer field. And there will be time differences, due to which the game would have to start at noon, which will be as inconvenient as it sounds for both the players and the audiences. In the end, the podcaster has one last cherry-picked location that seems the best fit.
